President’s Message
PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE: Well, here we go again. by William "Bill" Brown, TWUA President
For those who may not know, this is actually my second time serving as President of the Texas Water Utilities Association. My first term began in 2020, which means I had the distinct honor of becoming what I jokingly refer to as “The COVID President.” Of course, nobody remembers that. And honestly, that’s probably for the best. Looking back, that term looked a whole lot different than what lies ahead of us this year. Travel was limited, meetings were canceled or moved online. We spent more time staring at computer screens than shaking hands. Instead of visiting operators and utility professionals around the state, many of us were figuring out how to mute and unmute ourselves on Zoom. Some of us never quite mastered that skill. Needless to say, it wasn’t exactly the traditional TWUA experience. One of the things I enjoy most about TWUA is the opportunity to get out and meet people. This association has always been built on relationships. The classes, certifications, and training opportunities are important, but so are the conversations in the hallway, the stories shared over lunch, and the friendships that develop over years of serving in this industry together. That’s why I’m excited about this term. This time around, I’m looking forward to attending our regional schools, visiting with members across the state, and spending time with the people who make this organization what it is. Texas is a big state, and our water systems may look different from one region to the next, but we all face many of the same challenges and share the same commitment to serving our communities. Before I go any further, I want to take a moment to thank our outgoing President, David Hinshaw, for his
4 Texas Water Utilities Journal | www.twua.org
leadership and service to TWUA. Anyone who has served in this role knows that it requires a significant investment of time and energy. David represented this association well, and I appreciate his commitment to our members and to the water industry across Texas. On behalf of TWUA, thank you, David, for a job well done. I would also like to recognize and thank everyone involved in hosting the Annual School in Waco this past July. Events like that do not happen by accident. They require months of planning, coordination, and a tremendous amount of volunteer effort. Regional and annual schools remain one of the greatest strengths of TWUA, and the success of those events is a direct reflection of the people who step up and make them happen. As I begin this term, I’d like to focus these monthly letters around a simple theme: Stewards of a Finite Resource in an Infinite Growth State. I can’t think of a phrase that better describes where our industry finds itself today. If you’ve lived in Texas for any length of time, you’ve witnessed the growth. New subdivisions seem to appear overnight. Roads that were once quiet country roads are now lined with rooftops and traffic. Communities that were once considered rural are becoming suburban. Areas that were suburban are becoming urban. And through it all, people continue to move here. Businesses continue to invest here. Families continue to build their lives here. Growth is one of the many things that makes Texas special. People come here because of opportunity, because of our economy, because of our communities, and because they believe this state offers a bright future. The challenge for those of us in the water industry is that while Texas may sometimes feel like it can grow forever, the water resources we depend on cannot. We are the stewards of a finite resource; and that reality touches every utility in this state, regardless of size. You don’t have to look very far to see it. When I took over in 2007 as General Manager of Jonah Water, we had just 4,500
August 2026
President’s Message
connections. Today, 19 years later, we have nearly 17,000 connections. Every new connection represents a family, a home, a business, or a customer depending on us to provide safe and reliable service. Growth can be exciting. It often reflects economic success and community development. But growth also brings responsibility. New infrastructure must be planned, designed, and constructed. Additional water supplies must be secured. Storage capacity must be expanded. Treatment facilities must be upgraded. Distribution systems must grow. Staff must be hired and trained. Growth doesn’t just happen on paper. It happens in pump stations, treatment plants, storage tanks, and miles of pipe buried beneath our communities.And that’s where stewardship comes into the picture. When people hear the word “stewardship,” they sometimes think about conservation programs or drought restrictions. Those things certainly matter, but stewardship is much broader than that. Stewardship is what happens when an operator notices a problem before it becomes an emergency. It’s what happens when a field crew responds to a line break in the middle of the night. It’s what happens when a board member makes a difficult decision that may not be popular today but will benefit the system ten years from now. It’s what happens when a manager develops a long-term capital improvement plan instead of simply reacting to the next crisis. Stewardship means leaving a system stronger than you found it. One of the things I’ve learned over the years is that the best utilities aren’t necessarily the ones with the newest facilities or the biggest budgets. The best utilities are the ones that consistently make good decisions over time. They invest wisely. They train their people. They maintain their infrastructure. They plan for the future. Most importantly, they understand that the work they’re doing today will affect customers for decades to come. That is especially true here in Texas. The decisions we make today regarding water supply, infrastructure investment, workforce development, and system planning will shape the future of our communities long after many of us have retired. No pressure, right? Actually, that’s one of the things I love about this profession. Very few industries have such a direct impact on public health, economic development, and quality of life. Most
August 2026
people never think about their water service until something goes wrong, and that’s usually a sign that we’re doing our jobs well. Success in our industry often means being invisible. But behind that invisible service are thousands of dedicated professionals who show up every day to make it happen: operators, field crews, customer service representatives, engineers, managers, board members, volunteers, and many others. Together, they form the backbone of Texas’ water infrastructure. Over the next year, we’ll explore many aspects of what it means to be stewards of a finite resource in an infinite growth state. We’ll talk about conservation, infrastructure, workforce challenges, planning, innovation, growth, and the opportunities that lie ahead for our industry. We’ll celebrate successes, discuss challenges, and highlight the people who keep water flowing across Texas every day. Most importantly, I hope these letters serve as a reminder that none of us are facing these challenges alone. That’s one of the greatest benefits of TWUA: no matter where you work or what role you serve, you’re part of a community of professionals committed to helping one another succeed. I am honored by the opportunity to serve as your President once again. I look forward to seeing many of you at regional schools, conferences, and events throughout the coming year. Thank you for the work you do every day. Thank you for your commitment to your communities. And thank you for being the stewards of one of Texas’ most valuable resources. Now let’s get to work. Sincerely,
Bill Brown President Texas Water Utilities Association

ather, we acknowledge you and bow our heads in respect as we humbly say thank You, and proclaim that you are the creator. We take comfort in knowing that you remain in control of life as we understand it. We need You, and we welcome You, in all that we do. We come into Your presence seeking Your grace, calm, guidance, and forgiveness. Father, we pray for Your mercy and Your grace as we ask that You guide, direct, protect, and bless TWUA and its members. Father, thank you as we offer praise in the name of Jesus. Amen The drought remains a concern in parts of Texas. While some areas are experiencing rain, many watersheds still remain dry, and reservoirs remain low. In West Texas, Lake Spence is at 10.4 % ( -0.2 %), White River is at 23.9 % (-2.3 %), and in the Panhandle, Lake Meredith is at 42.3 % (-1.7 %). Greenbelt is at 5.4 % (- 0.7 %). For a full view of current lake levels, visit waterdatafortexas.org. For some, the drought has never truly ended. We are proud to report that the 108th Annual School (Waco) was a success. The 109th Annual School will remain in Waco, with dates October 4–7, 2017. For those with training needs, the TWUA East Texas Annual School will be held in Longview, August 17th – 20th, and Mike Norris and the East Texas Board would welcome your attendance and participation. For those in the Panhandle and West Texas area, the West Texas Regional School (Lubbock) will be held November 3rd – 5th. We recognize that you play a role in selecting your operator training, and we thank you for choosing and supporting TWUA. Within the next 60 days, TWUA Online Training will roll out our on-Demand or user-paced training option. The Central Office staff has been working closely with developers to customize a training portal that will be more accommodating for those primarily seeking TCEQ-approved continuing education. The on-Demand process will begin with Resiliency Overview, and TWUA will then expand to Resiliency Mutual Aid. The 6 Texas Water Utilities Journal | www.twua.org
Central Office will also develop two-, four-, and eight-hour modules, and, finally, the operator core training modules. With on-Demand capabilities, the TWUA on-Demand aspect will be available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year for shift staff, those in immediate need, and those who prefer Computer-Based training. The Story Goes Something Like This – Once upon a time, there was an arrogant and annoying donkey. This donkey would take opposing views just to argue. He was loud and boisterous. He quickly learned that some arguments were won not on merits but on appearing knowledgeable, loud, and offended. One day the donkey came prancing down the path and saw the tiger lying in the shade of a tree. “The donkey loudly pronounced that the grass is blue.” The tiger replied, “No, the grass is green, and everyone knows it.” The discussion became heated, and the two decided to submit the issue to arbitration, so they approached the lion. As they approached the lion on his throne, the donkey started screaming:"Your Highness, isn’t it true that the grass is blue?” The lion thought about the question and replied: “If you believe it is true, the grass is blue.” The donkey rushed forward and continued: "The tiger disagrees with me, contradicts me and annoys me. Please punish him.” The king then declared:"The tiger will be punished with 3 days of silence.” The donkey jumped with joy and went on his way, content and repeating "The grass is blue, the grass is blue…” The tiger asked the lion, “Your Majesty, why have you punished me? After all, the grass is green.” August 2026
Central Office News
The lion replied"You’ve known and seen the grass is green.” The tiger asked "So why do you punish me?” The lion replied, “That has nothing to do with the question of whether the grass is blue or green. The punishment is because it is degrading for a brave, intelligent creature like you to waste time arguing with an ass, and on top of that, you came and bothered me with that question just to validate something you already knew was true!” The biggest waste of time is arguing with the fool and fanatic who doesn’t care about truth or reality, but only the victory of his perceptions, beliefs, and illusions.
Never waste time on discussions that make no sense. There are people who, for all the evidence presented to them, do not have the ability to understand. Others are blinded by ego, hatred, and resentment, and the only thing that they want is to be right even if they aren’t. Perhaps Mark Twain said it best – “Never argue with stupid people; they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.” Author – Matt Hogan
Stay Safe, and Remember – we do not need all operators in Texas to be members of TWUA – JUST YOU! ! !

Safety News
TRAFFIC SAFETY AND UTILITY WORKERS: EVERYONE HAS A RESPONSIBILITY Utility workers perform some of the most important—and often most dangerous—jobs in our communities. Water and wastewater operators, public works employees, electric utility crews, telecommunications workers, and contractors routinely work alongside streets and highways while traffic continues only a few feet away. A routine valve repair, water-main break, sewer inspection, meter replacement, or emergency excavation can quickly place workers in an environment where one distracted driver can cause a lifechanging accident. For utility workers, traffic safety is not simply about cones, signs, and reflective vests. It is about making sure everyone goes home safely at the end of the day. The Work Zone Can Change in Seconds Unlike permanent construction projects, utility work frequently begins with little warning. A water main may rupture during rush hour. A sewer line may fail in the middle of the night. A hydrant may be damaged by a vehicle. Crews responding to these situations cannot always choose the safest location or the most convenient time. Workers may be required to operate valves, excavate pavement, enter manholes, use heavy equipment, or repair infrastructure while vehicles continue moving nearby.
August 2026
This creates an unusual workplace because utility employees cannot completely control one of their greatest hazards—the traveling public. A driver may be speeding, distracted by a cellphone, impaired, tired, confused by the traffic pattern, or simply not paying attention. Even an experienced and safety-conscious utility worker cannot predict every driver’s actions. That is why traffic control must be established before employees become focused on the repair itself. The Work Is Important—but Safety Comes First Utility workers naturally want to solve problems quickly. When customers are without water, sewage is overflowing, or a roadway is flooding, there is pressure to get to work immediately. But urgency should never eliminate basic safety precautions. Before beginning work, crews should evaluate the location and ask several questions: What is the traffic speed? How heavy is the traffic? What is the visibility? Are we near a curve, hill, intersection, or driveway? Will employees need (continued on page 10) Texas Water Utilities Journal | www.twua.org 9
Safety News (continued from page 9)
to cross traffic? Where will equipment be positioned? Can motorists clearly recognize the work zone early enough to react? Taking a few minutes to evaluate these conditions can prevent an accident that lasts only seconds but affects people for a lifetime. Create a Work Zone Drivers Can Understand Effective traffic control communicates with motorists before they reach the workers. Advance warning signs tell drivers something unusual is ahead. Cones, drums, barricades, arrow devices, and other traffic-control equipment help guide vehicles through or around the work area. Properly trained flaggers can provide additional control when traffic must alternate directions or when equipment enters and exits the roadway. The objective is not simply to place traffic-control devices because a procedure requires them. The objective is to create a situation that motorists can see, understand, and safely respond to. Visibility is especially important. High-visibility clothing helps distinguish workers from equipment and the surrounding environment. Emergency and warning lights can increase awareness, particularly at night or during bad weather. However, visibility does not make a worker invincible. Being visible is not the same as being protected. Workers must continue watching traffic and avoid assuming that a driver sees them simply because they are wearing high-visibility clothing. Never Turn Your Back on the Hazard Utility workers can become so focused on the technical task that they temporarily forget about traffic. 10 Texas Water Utilities Journal | www.twua.org
The valve will not operate. The pipe is leaking. The pump is running. The excavation needs attention. Employees naturally focus on solving the immediate problem. Meanwhile, traffic continues moving nearby. Whenever possible, workers should position themselves so they can monitor approaching vehicles or have another employee watching traffic conditions. Crews should establish escape routes and avoid placing themselves where equipment, vehicles, barriers, or excavations leave them nowhere to go. One important principle is simple: Never become so focused on the job that you lose awareness of the environment around you. Motorists become distracted by electronics, and speed is a contributing factor in work zone accidents. A utility employee working beside a roadway should never assume an approaching driver sees the work zone. A driver can be looking directly ahead and still fail to recognize a worker, flagger, truck, cone, or lane closure until it is too late. Utility workers may also be concentrating on repairing a water main, a force main, operating a valve, entering a manhole, ensuring trench safety compliance, or operating equipment and therefore may not notice an approaching vehicle. Rule of thumb: You can control the traffic-channeling devices. You can control the signs. You can control your equipment and your work practices. You cannot control the driver coming toward you. Vehicles and Equipment Create Additional Hazards The danger is not limited to passing motorists. Utility vehicles, dump trucks, backhoes, excavators, trailers, and service trucks moving within the work zone can also injure employees. (continued on page 11 August 2026
Field News (continued from page 10)
supplies homes, restoring electrical service, repairing wastewater infrastructure, or responding to an emergency.
Backing deserves particular attention. Drivers operating large equipment may have significant blind spots. Workers on foot should never assume an equipment operator can see them.
Drivers should slow down, eliminate distractions, follow signs and flagger instructions, increase following distance, and remain prepared for changing conditions.
Good communication, spotters when appropriate, backup alarms, established travel paths, and maintaining separation between workers and moving equipment can greatly reduce these risks. Everyone should know who is responsible for directing equipment and traffic. Confusion has no place in an active work zone. Complacency Can Be Dangerous Experienced utility workers may have worked beside traffic hundreds or even thousands of times. That experience is valuable, but familiarity can also create complacency. Nothing happened yesterday. Nothing happened last week. Nothing happened during the previous hundred repairs. Then someone becomes comfortable taking a shortcut. Safety procedures are not designed only for the day when something goes wrong. They are designed to help prevent that day from arriving.
A few seconds of patience can protect someone’s life. Everyone Goes Home Traffic safety ultimately comes down to a simple objective. Finish the job—but finish it safely. No water-main repair, sewer repair, valve replacement, or utility emergency is worth an employee being seriously injured or killed because proper traffic precautions were ignored. Supervisors must establish expectations. Employees must remain alert. Crews must look out for one another. Drivers must slow down and pay attention. For utility workers, the work zone is their workplace. For motorists, it may only represent a few seconds of inconvenience. Those few seconds matter. Slow down. Pay attention. Protect the work zone. Protect each other. And make sure everyone goes home. Refined by ChatGPT
The greatest danger may be the driver you never expected to enter the work zone. Drivers Have a Responsibility Too Work-zone safety cannot rest entirely on utility workers. Motorists must recognize that the people working alongside the roadway are performing necessary services for the community. They may be repairing the water system that August 2026

MICROMANAGING VS. COACHING One of the greatest challenges facing supervisors and managers is determining how involved they should be in their employees’ work. Too little involvement can result in confusion, poor performance, and a lack of accountability. Too much involvement can create frustration, dependency, and resentment. The difference often comes down to two very different management approaches: micromanaging and coaching. Both involve supervision, communication, and accountability, but their purposes are fundamentally different. Micromanaging is primarily about maintaining control, whereas coaching focuses on developing capability. Coaching begins with a different question. A micromanager asks, “How can I make sure they do this correctly?” A coach asks, “How can I help them become capable of doing this correctly without me?” That difference is significant. A coaching supervisor still establishes standards and holds employees accountable. Coaching does not mean ignoring poor performance,

lowering expectations, or allowing employees to do whatever they want. Good coaches establish clear expectations regarding safety, quality, productivity, professionalism, and results. Another major difference between micromanaging and coaching is how mistakes are viewed. Micromanagers frequently attempt to prevent every mistake by controlling every detail. When something goes wrong, they may become even more involved. A coach recognizes that reasonable mistakes can sometimes become valuable learning opportunities. This does not mean allowing employees to make dangerous, unethical, illegal, or extremely costly mistakes. In areas involving public safety, regulatory compliance, hazardous equipment, or critical operations, direct supervision may be absolutely necessary. Coaching Builds Confidence and Accountability. Employees generally take greater ownership of decisions (continued on page 14) Texas Water Utilities Journal | www.twua.org 13
Field News (continued from page 13)
they help make. When supervisors consistently encourage employees to think, solve problems, and accept responsibility, confidence begins to develop. Confidence leads to independence. Independence allows supervisors to delegate greater responsibility. Greater responsibility develops future supervisors and leaders. Perhaps the simplest way to distinguish coaching from micromanaging is this:
it with them → Watch them do it → Trust them to do it. The objective is not to make yourself unnecessary to the organization. It is to make yourself unnecessary to every routine decision. A coach develops employees who come to the supervisor and say: “Here is the situation, here is what I recommend, and here is why.” That is when you know you are developing people instead of simply controlling their work. Refined with ChatGPT
Micromanaging creates employees who need the manager. Coaching creates employees who can succeed without the manager constantly being present. Great supervisors do more than get today’s work completed. They develop people who will be capable of handling tomorrow’s work. Micromanagement may provide the supervisor with a temporary sense of control, but coaching creates something far more valuable: competence, confidence, accountability, trust, and future leaders. There is a simple way to evaluate your management style: “Am I involved because my employee truly needs my help, or because I am uncomfortable giving up control?” Good supervision establishes expectations, provides training, monitors performance, and holds people accountable. Coaching goes one step further—it prepares employees to operate successfully without constant supervision. The progression should be: Tell them → Show them → Do

WIPES IN PIPES
With Micro-Solve® microorganisms multiply. This reduces the grease that binds wipes together. Micro-Solve® reduces the risk of contact with disease.
Wipes when flushed and combined with other products and grease that is poured down drains, create "fatbergs". Once they enter the sewer lines, they can accumulate and cause backups, damaging the city's infrastructure.
