Is your home host to family and friends during the holidays? You may be surprised at a cost you weren’t considering – your water usage.

Local, federal and international governments and even your local water company are working hard to ensure we all have access to high-quality water. Together we’re making great strides to bring reliable access to water to every corner of the world.

Your water meter, like so many things in our lives, is something you might not give much thought to until something goes wrong.

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 San Jose Water 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.

SJW and our partner organizations are doing our parts to help proactively counter the effects of old pipes and aging infrastructure on the environment, water quality and water supply.

It’s 3 a.m. You wake up. The house seems quieter than normal. Your wife shifts slightly and the dog snores as you pad barefoot to the bathroom to get a drink of water.

If you're a San Jose Water customer, you probably already know how to read your meter because our customers are some of the smartest water users around. But if you don't, there's a video for that. However, unlike reading your own home meter a career in meter reading requires employees to be part MacGyver and part data collector. For San Jose Water's team of Meter Readers, the job can be fun, challenging, and occasionally, frustrating.
