Greetings, friends and colleagues.
Last month, the Water Authority had a unique opportunity to assist
the city of Calgary during a catastrophic pipeline failure. Despite
being more than 1,600 miles away, our operations and maintenance team
was able to quickly send Calgary two spare sections of pipe they needed
to rebuild their water delivery system.
I want to take a moment to recognize our team for their enthusiastic
support of our neighbors to the north. To me, this support underscores
the interconnectedness of communities across the country and across
borders – something we will all continue to rely on as infrastructure
challenges grow around the globe.
Dan Denham
General Manager
San Diego County Water Authority
P.S. See how the Water Authority helped keep the water flowing in Calgary.
