Brian Bowcock: Thinking outside the box to make water available to everyone

From the Claremont Courier Online:

Brian Bowcock says he’s at his best bringing people together to find common ground. That’s how he describes his work representing Claremont and La Verne on the Board of Directors of Three Valleys Municipal Water District. “I can get things done faster, cheaper and more efficiently,” he said, quoting a plaque his employees gave him when he retired as Director of Public Works for the city of La Verne.

Mr. Bowcock’s chief concern is making water available for his constituents. This includes making water available for people in developing countries who may not have access to adequate water supplies. Towards this end, he has been involved in an organization called “Water for People,” a non-profit that partners with communities to promote and build “safe drinking water resources and improved sanitation facilities in developing countries,” according to the organization’s Annual Report.

This past June, Mr. Bowcock was awarded the Kenneth J. Miller Founders’ Award for his service to Water for People’s international humanitarian effort. Mr. Bowcock received the award for his work to “promote the cause of Water For People, educate others on its important work, and increase fundraising activities within the section.”
