Water Authority Aims to Help Veterans Enter Water Industry
A new bill in the California Legislature, co-sponsored by the Water Authority and Otay Water District, aims to boost jobs for veterans, especially in the water and wastewater industry.
Assembly Bill 1588 was introduced by San Diego Assemblymember Todd Gloria and Central Valley Assemblymember Adam Gray. The bill may be heard in committee this month.
“If veterans could more quickly move through the civilian certification process, the California water industry would have a much larger pool of highly skilled, motivated, and talented people eager to continue their public service careers,” said Glenn Farrel, government relations manger for the Water Authority.
