When we said our crews work fast, we weren’t exaggerating! Congratulations to SAWS’ men’s and women’s tapping teams for their first- and second-place wins, respectively, at the American Water Works Association Annual Conference and Exposition held in Denver, June 8-11.
A competition of skill and speed, teams race against the clock to install a tap and connect a service line to a cement-lined, ductile iron pipe — the same way a utility crew would connect water service to a new home.
Tapping for the Alamo Drillerz men’s team were Jason Alvarado, Andrew Bratton, Eric Lucio and Eugene Mora, with a winning time of 1:10. On the Alamo City Tappers women’s team were Yolanda Garcia, Cathryn Carey, Rosa Castillo and Joslyn Martinez with a winning tap time of 2:57.
