Get an inside look at what it really takes to deliver clean, reliable water to Redding residents every single day. In this episode, we sit down with Water Utility Manager Josh Watkins to break down the system most people never see: miles of pipelines, treatment plants, reservoirs, pumping stations, and the dedicated staff who keep it all running.

We discuss the sources of Redding’s water, its treatment process, how aging infrastructure is monitored and upgraded, and the behind-the-scenes work required to prepare for droughts, growth, emergencies, and long-term demand. You’ll also hear about the City's efforts to ensure that Redding has a sustainable, high-quality water supply for future generations.

Whether you’re a curious resident or someone who appreciates a cold glass of water, this episode will give you a deeper understanding of the system that supports everyday life in our community.
