Water System Inspector I (WSI) is the entry-level position in East Bay Municipal Utility District Systems Water Quality Unit.

The three main areas of responsibility carried out by WSIs are: regulatory-driven sampling, scheduled work with maintenance yards and other work units, and responding to the variety of consumer-related investigations, inspections, etc. that arise.

WSIs investigate water quality, flow, pressure, and other water distribution system issues; plan, schedule, and conduct disinfection and dechlorination of distribution mains and reservoirs; interpret chemical, microbiological, and other technical data pertaining to water quality; inspect and sample raw and treated water; prepare clear, concise, and complete reports and correspondence. Successful WSIs have:

• Strong communication skills with East Bay Municipal Utility District (EBMUD) staff and consumers to coordinate, follow up, collaborate, and problem-solve.


• A genuine interest in learning about EBMUD's source and treated water distribution system, water sampling, field analysis, computer databases, etc.


• Desire to learn and exercise multiple skills in precision work such as sampling, operating, and calibrating electronic equipment; detective work in investigations; field work, including water main flushing, and using and maintaining chlorination equipment; office work, often at a PC.
