This week marks California’s ninth annual Water Professionals Appreciation Week, a dedicated time to celebrate the critical contributions of water professionals and local public water agencies across the state. The event, established in 2017, pays tribute to the individuals who tirelessly ensure safe, reliable water and wastewater services for our communities.
At Nossaman, we appreciate the highly skilled professionals—operators, technicians, engineers and customer service representatives—who work around the clock to guarantee access to drinking water, wastewater treatment and recycled water services. Whether in times of drought, extreme weather conditions or health emergencies like the recent pandemic, these individuals exhibit extraordinary resilience and commitment.
As we honor our water industry clients and the essential role they play in sustaining community health, the economy and the environment, we encourage you to show appreciation to water professionals you may encounter and learn more about the wide array of careers in the water industry.
To all water professionals working statewide, we extend our heartfelt thanks for making a difference every day.
