Granger’s Appointment Will Keep the HWD on Top of Federal Water Regulations
The Hicksville Water District (HWD) is proud to announce that Superintendent Paul J. Granger has been appointed to the American Water Works Association (AWWA) Water Utility Council. With this new appointment, Superintendent Granger will be one of two representatives from New York to serve at the forefront of all federal water-related issues, helping the HWD stay on top of any and all regulations and changes regarding drinking water.
AWWA is an international, nonprofit, scientific and educational society dedicated to providing total water solutions assuring the effective management of water. Founded in 1881, the Association is the largest organization of water supply professionals in the world.
“I am truly honored and humbled to have been given this opportunity from the AWWA,” said Superintendent Granger. “I am greatly looking forward to working alongside my new colleagues in making sure that the hundreds of millions of people across our country have the same access to top-quality drinking water as the residents I currently serve. While I am dedicated to serving the country at large, the work and interest of the Hicksville Water District will always come first.”
A graduate of Polytechnic University, Granger is a licensed New York State Professional Engineer and a Grade IB Certified Water Plant Operator. He has 34 years of experience in the water supply system industry, having spent the last three overseeing all of the Hicksville Water District’s day-to-day operations. It is due greatly to Granger’s unrivaled knowledge and passion for the water industry and his dedication to the Hicksville community that the HWD continues to provide its residents with the highest-quality water available anywhere on Long Island.
“It would not be possible to think of a better person to serve on the Water Utility Council than Paul,” said HWD Chairman Nicholas Brigandi. “His entire body of work shows that he is among the most successful minds in the water service industry, something which will serve him well on the federal level. We are tremendously proud of Paul for this accomplishment and we anticipate even more great things from him in the future.”
