uniformity

 

the first image you saw was a fire uniform (but you already knew that right?) well, For example: a child in the backseat of the car, on the way to the store with their parents, sees a firefighter and immediatley says "mom, dad, LOOK A FIREMAN!" but what happens when the child sees a water utility worker? im willing to bet 9 out of 10 times that children have no idea what a water operator is doing or what they wear. Water WarPath aims to bring some type of change in this regard and with the help of fellow tradesworkers and the water operator community, find some type of industry specific standardized apparel or uniform that will aid in public awareness. Another common misconception we hear alot is that fire departments maintain the fire hydrants, that is false. Water operators make sure the fire departments are supplied with adequate water pressure, flow, and equipment such as hydrants in order to protect the community from fires. Operators have to maintain their systems hydrants every year to make sure they are functioning properly and also use them to flush stagnatnt water from the sytem and draw fresh water into certain areas.

A little about me: my name is Kevin, a water distribution operator in Northern CA. Partnered with another industry professional Kendall- who now has gone into private contracting for a waterworks and excavation company in Northern Idaho. For over a decade, we have swapped stories and discussed with eachother how we can make things better in this industry. Over 20+ years of combined water utility experience, we put together a plan that will not only benefit individual operators in their careers, but will aslo help shape our industry into what it should be. Well the time has come, and we need YOU to unite with us in these efforts. Are You Ready?
