Mayor Tara Campbell’s Young Civic Leaders Academy Visit YLWD

On Wednesday, November 6, YLWD proudly hosted Mayor Tara Campbell’s Young Civic Leaders Academy! Eleven local high school students were joined by Yorba Linda Mayor Tara Campbell and Councilwoman Janice Lim, who enjoyed a presentation and guided tour from one of YLWD’s Plant Operators who walked students through our PFAS Water Treatment Plant. Students learned about the source of our water, the treatment process, and how water is distributed throughout our service area. After the tour, students participated in a Career Roundtable, engaging with YLWD staff from various departments including Customer Service, Engineering/GIS, Production, and Public Affairs. Staff members shared their career journeys, their passion for water, and what they cherish most about serving the public, plus some helpful career tips!

These Young Civic Leaders left feeling motivated and excited about the rewarding career opportunities available in the water industry. We look forward to witnessing the positive impact these students will have in their community!💧
