Northshore Utility District was honored to host Dr. Chi Ho Sham, recent past president of the American Water Works Association (AWWA) on November 8, 2022. Sham’s passion for safeguarding water quality and the environment began in Hong Kong, where, during the 1960s, he experienced first-hand the city’s drought-induced potable water shortages. Since earning master’s and doctorate degrees from the State University of New York at Buffalo, his work has spanned watershed management, water resource planning, drinking water protection, underground injection control, and water quality assessment. Meeting Dr. Sham in person was a great experience for our team and we are grateful for all he is doing for water across the country.
