October 7-15th is Water Professionals Appreciation Week. To celebrate, we’re featuring some of the men and women who help ensure water is available for our community 24/7.

Today, marks the beginning of a new era for San Jose Water as Eric Thornburg takes the reins from Rich Roth, SJW’s retiring Chief Executive Officer.  Rich was President and CEO of SJW Group, our parent company, for more than 20 years. Eric comes to our company with 35 years of experience in the water industry. Most recently he served as the President and CEO of Connecticut Water Service, Inc.  He also worked for American Water Works Corporation and Missouri-American Water.

Let this sink in: 2.4 mile swim, 112 mile ride, 26.2 mile run.

See what CEO Eric Thornburg thinks about the importance of being responsible for a community's water service.

The best way to learn about your field is through hands-on experience – that’s what internships are for! Here at San Jose Water, we value your ambition and career goals, and we want to make sure that students have the ability to grow and develop the necessary skill set to do well in their career of choice. SJW’s internship program provides mentorship, guidance, competitive pay, and even the opportunity to convert to full-time.
