Turning Mississippi River water into drinking water takes skill, responsibility, and dedication.
I spent a shift with Ed Azemas, a drinking water operator at the Sewerage & Water Board of New Orleans Algiers plant, seeing firsthand what he and his colleagues put into treating the water and getting it out to the people of the Crescent City.
I’m always impressed by the blend of abilities operators bring: plumbing, mechanical, electrical, chemistry, and a detailed knowledge of every part of the treatment process and their plant.
