In March, several SJRA employees attended the Texas Water Conference. Texas Water is an annual conference hosted by the Water Environment Association of Texas (WEAT) and Texas Section American Water Works Association (AWWA). The conference welcomes water and wastewater professionals from all over the state. SJRA brought home several different awards from the conference, highlighting our employees, infrastructure, and water quality.

SJRA’s Utility Enterprise took home the third-place award for Best Tasting Drinking Water in Texas! Our GRP Operators were recognized for all the hard work they do to make GRP water some of the best water in Texas. Not only does having top quality water require excellent employees, but it requires reliable infrastructure. We are incredibly grateful for our operators’ service to the community by providing some of the best tasting drinking water in Texas!

The Utility Enterprise also won third place in the Freese and Nichols Process Control Event, second place in the Victaulic Exhibition Event, first place in the Division II Exhibition events, first place in the Seepex Exhibition Event, and first place in the Grundfos Exhibition Event. Congratulations to our very hard-working Utility Enterprise team!

SJRA’s Public Communications Department was awarded two Watermark Awards for the SJRA Lake Conroe Story Map as well as for school tours. This story map is an educational piece to help the public understand more of the functions of how SJRA manages Lake Conroe in a fun and digestible way. In an effort to increase public outreach with the community, SJRA has hosted many tour groups for local schools. SJRA is eager for students, young and old, in our area to understand how we work for the community’s water. Our Public Communications team is always working to develop new creative strategies for communicating with the public and helping them understand all the services that SJRA provides.
