With the dedicated efforts of over 1,400 employees, Phoenix Water treats and distributes tap water to 1.7 million customers daily and manages the city's sewer system. The sewer system handles wastewater treatment operations for 2.9 million residents in five valley cities. Infrastructure includes eight water and wastewater treatment plants, nearly 300 pumps, well, lift and pressure stations, over 7,000 miles of water main, 57,000 fire hydrants and 100,00 manholes and cleanouts. Phoenix's water and sewer rates are among the lowest of comparable-sized cities nationwide. Our tap water supplies are in excellent shape due to decades of planning and multiple water sources. The city reuses nearly all of its wastewater on non-edible crops, wetlands and energy production.</div> <div> <br> </div> <div> <strong>Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter: @PHXWater</strong> <br> </div> <div> <br> </div> <div> <div> <strong>Media Contact:</strong> <br> </div> <div>Mike Gertzman<br></div> <div>Senior Public Information Officer <br></div> <div>Phoenix Water Services </div> <div>Cell: 602-245-4143 (call or text)</div> <div>Email: <a href="mailto:michael.gertzman@phoenix.gov" target="_blank"><strong>michael.gertzman@phoenix.gov</strong></a></div> <div> <br> <br> </div> <p> <span style="background-color:window;color:windowtext;font-size:10pt;"></span> <br> </p> <br> </div> <p> <br> </p> </html></div>https://www.phoenix.gov/waterservicesNewswater-servicesUtility Techs working Water DeptUtility Technician Job waterMichael Gertzman602-534-1209michael.gertzman@phoenix.govPHXWater
