It takes a lot of people doing a multitude of jobs to keep the water flowing across Denver Water's service area. Some of those jobs are familiar to many of us: water treatment plant operators, reservoir caretakers and pipe replacement crews.

But welders? What does welding have to do with water?

As it turns out, quite a bit. Denver Water has a team of welding professionals who support our field crews and operations from the city to the mountains. When equipment breaks, they fix it. When something doesn’t fit quite right, they cut, grind and weld to make it work.

And since April is National Welding Month, we thought we’d tip our hats to the torch-bearing metal-masters fabricating and fixing things at Denver Water.
