The Sewerage and Water Board of New Orleans is hiring the CEO of Philadelphia's water system to be its new executive director.
In addition to his time as CEO of the water department for the nation's sixth-largest city, Randy Hayman was also previously served as general counsel for DC Water and the Metropolitan St. Louis Water District.
"Under his leadership, Philadelphia Water removed three billion gallons of pollution before it could reach streams or rivers, far exceeding reduction targets previously set," SWBNO said in its announcement. "He also led the $100 million initiative that upgraded every home in Philadelphia to smart meter technology, allowing customers to accurately track and be billed for water usage."
"Randy Hayman's outstanding leadership in prioritizing customer service and essential services exemplify the executive director we were seeking," said Chadrick Kennedy, co-chair of the Ad Hoc Committee for the Executive Director search.
