We'll be there, even on Labor Day
Since 1882, the U.S. has celebrated Labor Day, a national tribute to the American worker's contributions to the social and economic strength of our country.
And while many celebrate the holiday with a relaxing day away from their jobs, some Denver Water employees will still be hard at work.
Ensuring 1.5 million people receive high-quality drinking water is a 24/7 operation. Here’s a glimpse at what some of our employees will be doing today — and every day — to make sure our customers have the water they need.
From accountants to welders, Denver Water has about 1,000 employees working in more than 200 positions. It truly takes a village to bring water to our customers every day.
With a water system as large and complex as ours, pumps, facilities, even entire pipelines, occasionally go down for service, maintenance or repair. Operators must constantly respond to alarms that signal potential real-time problems with everything from equipment and instrumentation to water quality and pressure. Photo credit: Denver Water.
We provide customers an average of 64 billion gallons of high-quality drinking water and 2 billion gallons of treated recycled water every year. No small task, but it’s all in a day’s work at Denver Water.
