The Water Employee Services Authority (WESA) was established as a joint powers authority between EVMWD and Meeks & Daley. As a joint powers authority, WESA provides professional water and wastewater staffing services to both agencies.
WESA is committed to managing our natural resources to provide reliable, cost efficient and high quality water and wastewater services for the communities we serve, while promoting conservation, environmental responsibility, education, community interaction, ethical behavior, and recognizing employees as highly valuable assets.
WHAT EMPLOYEES HAVE TO SAY
ABOUT
As a joint powers authority, WESA is better positioned to recruit and retain high quality employees with benefits that surpass what was available through either of its member agencies independently. Primary among the benefit improvements is adoption of a 2.7% at 55 retirement plan through the California Public Employees Retirement System (PERS).
It is also important to note that WESA provides the same high quality labor-related services to both EVMWD and Meeks & Daley at a lower cost than either agency would have experienced had WESA not been formed. Such savings are passed on to customers through reductions in future water rate increases.
The WESA Board of Directors and executive staff are progressive and looking to the future in many areas of endeavor. Their long view of continuous improvement gives WESA employees opportunities to be directly involved in initiatives that are pushing technology and management advances in the water industry. WESA is an emerging agency in a fast-growing community where employees have an opportunity to make a difference. Employees can apply their expertise to improve processes and projects to better serve the community. WESA is large enough to have the resources to improve itself, but small enough to implement decisions quickly.
WESA employees are highly qualified water industry professionals who care about their customers and the environment. The WESA team is made up of plant and field operators, construction crews, engineers, accountants, customer service professionals, electricians, mechanics, executives and a host of trade workers and other professionals. Many of WESA’s employees are industry-certified in their fields of expertise.
