Talking H2Onestly
Talking H2Onestly’s mission is to develop content to help MSD and utilities across the United States to solve their water challenges and share their expertise. This podcast will aim to provide all utilities with access to vital information, enabling them to maximize their funding and staffing resources. In addition, these conversations will provide an avenue for rate payers to gain insight into the intricate and complicated issues utilities face in providing critical services to our communities and introduce the audience to a variety of dedicated water professionals.
Talking H2Onestly is produced by Ms. Zonetta English, Strategic Initiatives and Project Delivery Director at MSD and the Chair of the WEF Utility Management Community, with the support of Mr. James A. Parrott, Executive Director and CEO of MSD. “This podcast will provide a variety of perspectives from across America. We hope that this is not only helpful for utility employees, but also helpful for local communities and political stakeholders as well,” explained Mr. Parrott.
