Environmental Defense Fund welcomes new Denver Water interim CEO Alan Salazar
Alan Salazar is a perfect choice for interim CEO at Denver Water, given his long and impressive history serving in senior leadership positions at the local, state and federal levels — making Colorado better. Denver Water has been a leader in protecting public health and the environment under the leadership of Jim Lochhead and we congratulate Jim on his retirement. The agency’s Lead Reduction Program is a national model, which takes an innovative and proactive approach to replacing all lead service lines at no cost to homeowners. In addition, they are leaders in conserving water in the arid and climate-change impacted West and play a key role in the health of the Colorado River and its tributaries.
We look forward to continuing to collaborate with Denver Water to help people and nature thrive alongside Alan and his ability to manage complex public organizations while collaborating with diverse stakeholders. He will be critical to Denver Water and continue to be a leader among water agencies in the West and around the nation.
