SAMCO has formed partnerships with water consultants to provide additional services to Texas communities. The partnerships with Texas Drinking Water Solutions and Elston Johnson and Associates allow for additional planning, reporting, regulatory compliance and project financing capabilities beyond the leak detection and field services normally completed by SAMCO.
James Beauchamp of Texas Drinking Water Solutions is recently retired from TCEQ where he served as a Special Assistant to the Drinking Water Standards Section. This experience coupled with his time investigating and supporting public water systems contributes to his expertise in regulatory compliance assistance, as well as GIS and distribution mapping.
Elston Johnson of Elston Johnson and Associates (EJA) has worked with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality. He has over 20 years of experience with water system regulatory compliance, permitting, and policy and regulation development. Also with EJA is Barb Johnson. Barb holds a Doctorate in Strategic Leadership and has more than 20 years of experience in leadership development, team effectiveness, organizational culture and strategic foresight. She understands the need to develop a strong people strategy to support the business aims of Financial Sustainability, Quality and Accessibility.
