Joseph Blackman welcomed Timothy Runde, the Treatment Manager at the Des Moines Wastewater Reclamation Facility, to the podcast where Timothy described his oversight of 24/7 operations for a facility serving 18 metro communities and managing flows of up to 200 MGD. Timothy discussed the significant success of the facility's three-year operator apprenticeship program, which has been in place since 2008 and accounts for nearly all of their current staff, effectively solving long-term recruitment and overnight staffing challenges. Key talking points included Timothy’s own career transition from forestry to wastewater, his focus on team-based leadership and professional development through organizations like WEF, and a safety-driven engineering solution he helped implement after a personal field incident to prevent suction-related accidents. Give the show a listen and remember to thank your local Public Works Professionals.
