💧H2O INTRO 🤝 Meet Dante Payne of the Philadelphia Water Department

Dante Payne used to wake up at 3 a.m. to collect water samples across Philadelphia.

Now, he leads the team that tests every drop of new and repaired water infrastructure in the city.

As a Water Quality Control Manager, Dante’s work ensures public health—but his deeper impact is on people. He’s mentoring the next generation of water professionals, helping entry-level science techs turn their first job into a lasting career.

“This is where I started, this is where I’m going, and this is how you get there,” says Dante.

Dante was a participant in the Water Center at Penn’s Regional Network Collaborative for Water Leadership.
