"Lake Worth has embarked on an ambitious Capital Improvements Project that will replace many of the water pipes which were installed in Lake Worth 50-60 years ago. The project, described in a previous edition of Worth Noting, will span six years. Replacing the severely corroded water pipes will provide better water pressure to customers and require little maintenance by city workers.
Leading the charge for these needed City improvements is Brian Shields, P.E. Brian is the newest addition to City staff as the Water Utilities Director. He began his career as a consulting engineer in New York City. He eventually moved to Florida and became the Utilities Director for the City of Lauderhill. From there, he spent ten years as the Deputy Water Utilities Director for Palm Beach County.
Brian is excited to be working for a smaller community where he feels that he can 'look forward to making a difference by helping improve the quality of life for the citizens with improved infrastructure.' "
