For Garon Goularte, frequent job changes have been a good thing.
In moving from one California facility to the next and gradually stepping up the operator ranks, Goularte has been exposed to multiple processes, each with its own challenges and with duties that encompass lab work, plant operations, water distribution, maintenance and leadership.
Now, as a senior operator with Monterey One Water, he’s excited to play a role in running a brand-new advanced water recycling plant that yields water for indirect potable reuse by introduction to the groundwater.
Goularte earned the 2019 Operator of the Year award from the California Water
