It's Feature Friday! Today, we want to spotlight Benjamin Alexander! Benjamin is a Systems Operator at the City of Milwaukee Water Works and is proud to play a part in keeping the community healthy.

"I work as a systems operator for the Milwaukee Water Works. Most of the time, that means I’m in the control room turning pumps on and off to maintain water pressure around the City. The Milwaukee Water Works serves clean water to a million people, and it’s my job to make sure that the water stays clean as it’s getting to your tap.

Working for the City has been an amazing experience. Every day I get to pat myself on the back for keeping our community healthy, and that is an incredible feeling. I also get to have experiences like going to Washington, D.C., for the Top Ops competition at ACE 2026 and meeting incredible industry leaders in our country and around the world. Going to D.C. and competing on a national stage was incredible, and I am so thankful to the City for affording me that opportunity.

I love learning, and working in a positive and encouraging environment like the City of Milwaukee makes it easy. Learning is a passion of mine, and I tell everyone who will listen that the City is the best place in the world to become the best person you can be!"

We are proud to have you on our City team, and we thank you for all you do!

It's Feature Friday! Today, we want to spotlight Allison Driskill! Allison is Operator-In-Charge at City of Milwaukee Water Works and proudly represented the City, along with members of the MWW team, in the Top Ops competition at the national AWWA Annual Conference and Exposition (ACE) in DC!

"My role is Operator-in-Charge at the Linnwood Water Purification Plant. I am responsible for ensuring that the tap water from our treatment plant meets the standards of the City of Milwaukee, the Wisconsin DNR, the EPA, and the American Water Works Association (AWWA).

I adjust treatment processes in response to changing raw water quality and perform regular maintenance across various aspects of the plants. I love working for the City of Milwaukee because it’s where I live, and I am invested in creating delicious, safe drinking water for my family and the Milwaukee community.

I am passionate about preserving our natural resources, especially the invaluable resource of Lake Michigan. We are so lucky to be living next to such a large freshwater resource, and I am humbled that I get to work with (and drink!) Lake Michigan water every day. It was great to represent the City of Milwaukee by competing in the Top Ops competition at the national AWWA Annual Conference and Exposition (ACE) in DC. Winning the state Top Ops competition in Madison last September was also a great experience – plus we got to put a cool plaque on the wall. I hope to continue to be part of the team representing Wisconsin at the ACE event in San Diego next year!"

We are proud to have you on our City team, and we thank you for all you do!
