Description

Press release from City of Fort Worth: June 02, 2021 You don't know Juan Ramirez, Nicolas Jackson and Tyler Horton, but they think about you all the time. They help operate Fort Worth's five drinking water treatment plants and are among a diverse and dedicated group of hundreds of water utility employees who make sure clean water gets to homes and businesses every day. Growing up, Ramirez, Jackson and Horton dreamed of being a firefighter, athlete and pilot. Little did they know their actual career choices would touch the daily lives of more than 1.3 million people. "It is purposeful work. I like the science behind it and all the good it does," Horton said. Jackson said the best thing about his job is that he gets to make a difference by making water safe. Ramirez, a former welder, said he never realized what it takes to make water drinkable until he started working for the water utility.
