Wilson Appointed GCWA Chief of Staff
TEXAS CITY, TX — Eric Wilson will join Gulf Coast Water Authority (GCWA) as Chief of Staff. Wilson will focus on planning, engineering, capital project delivery and Federal Emergency Management Administration projects.
Wilson has more than 25 years of municipal utilities experience in the region, including the city of Galveston’s Hurricane Ike recovery efforts. He also served for seven years on GCWA’s Board of Directors.
“Eric’s extensive qualifications and knowledge of GCWA will make him a valuable asset for the authority,” said Brandon Wade, GCWA General Manager and Chief Executive Officer.
The organization provides up to 200 million gallons of water a day to industrial, municipal and agricultural customers in Brazoria, Fort Bend and Galveston counties.
Wilson has worked in the private and public sectors, including various leadership positions for the cities of Bellaire, Alvin, Galveston, Pearland and Lake Jackson. As a member of the city of Galveston’s team, he led the restoration of water and sanitary sewer services after Hurricane Ike in coordination with a number of federal, state and local recovery stakeholders.
“I am eagerly looking forward to my new role with the Gulf Coast Water Authority. It is a great organization with a very knowledgeable and professional team,” Wilson said. “A great deal of work lies ahead. Together we will make the organization and its infrastructure more resilient, while continuing to look for alternative water sources to meet all the needs of those in Fort Bend, Brazoria and Galveston counties for many years to come.”
GCWA maintains a system of canals, pump stations, pipelines, reservoirs and a water treatment plant to deliver water from the Brazos River Basin to its customers. The special water district was established by the Texas Legislature in 1965.
