Welcome back to the podcast.
Today we are talking about something that every single one of us relies on daily but probably don’t think about until something goes wrong. This is our water and sewer services.
When you turn on your tap, flush the toilet, or see a fire hydrant on the corner, there’s a team working behind the scenes to ensure that system is running safely and reliably- around the clock.
Our guest today is Greg Gibbs, Construction and Maintenance Supervisor at Padre Dam Municipal Water District. Greg is the one who gets the call when something breaks- whether that's a water main at 2 a.m., a damaged fire hydrant, or an emergency leak on a holiday weekend, Greg is the one who responds.
From emergency response and construction projects to long term maintenance, it's clear how critical his role is in ensuring reliable water service for everyone. By the end of this episode, you'll have a renewed appreciation for the people who keep our water flowing 24/7.
Let's welcome Greg Gibbs to the show!
