WASA Chief Jerry Johnson Picked To Head WSSC

Jerry N. Johnson, left, former general manager of the D.C. Water and Sewer Authority (WASA), was chosen to be the general manager of the Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission (WSSC) in July. The six-member board of the WSSC, which supplies water and sewer service to 1.8 million people in Montgomery and Prince George's counties, voted unanimously to offer Johnson the job. Johnson, WASA's general manager for 12 years, resigned from that agency July 2. Johnson oversaw WASA when high levels of lead were found in the city's tap water. (Wash Post)
