Brad Brooks Named Cheyenne BOPU Director

Brad Brooks has been named to lead the Cheyenne Board of Public Utilities starting February 1.

Brooks will replace Tim Wilson, who has held the position for the last 19 years. Wilson is set to retire on January 31, 2017.

Brooks has been with the BOPU for the past 18 years, including seven as the BOPU Engineering Construction Project Coordinator  and 11 years as the Operation and Maintenance Manager and Engineering  and Water Resources Manager.

Prior to that he spent 13 years as a Project Staff Engineer for various private consulting firms. He says his goals as director include "continuing to provide the exceptional water and sanitary sewer services that we do to the city."

He also says he thinks his extensive background with the BOPU will let him ''hit the ground running" in his new position.

He says one of the challenges the BOPU faces going forward is monitoring and replacing an aging infrastructure to keep things running smoothly for the city.
