In recognition of Georgia Water Professionals Day, the City of Savannah’s Water Resources Department is organizing a Careers in Water event on May 7. This event is designed for youth, veterans, and job seekers who are considering a career in water services.
Participants will have the chance to interact with representatives from several departments within the City’s Water Resources department. These include Storm Water Management; Water and Sewer Planning and Engineering; Water Conveyance and Distribution; Water Reclamation; Water Supply and Treatment; Utility Billing; and Fats, Oils, and Grease (FOG) Inspectors.
