Suffield Democratic Town Committee
Dan Holmes – Water Pollution Control Authority
About Dan:
- Experience and Qualifications: I am a registered professional engineer in the State of Connecticut and Massachusetts. Currently, I’m a project manager at Tighe & Bond, which is a multidisciplinary consulting engineering firm with offices located throughout the northeast. Over the last fourteen years working at Tighe & Bond I have been involved with many exciting and challenging projects. I have significant experience designing wastewater collection system and wastewater pump stations. In addition to sewer design, I am well versed in sewer rehabilitation methods, trenchless technologies, water systems, roadway design, and site planning and permitting. I believe my engineering skill sets will continue to be an asset to the board.
- Education: I have a Bachelor of Science in Engineering Technology from Central Connecticut State University.
- Family: My wife and I have lived in Suffield since 2005. Our two children are fourteen and twelve and attend Suffield Schools.
- Community Involvement: I am an active volunteer for the Suffield PMC Kids Ride and have spent much of my free time coaching both my kid’s sports teams. I have served on the WPCA board since 2018.
Why Dan is running for WPCA:
Sewer systems are fascinating and are of critical importance to the health and well being of people and the environment. I would like to continue serving on the board to provide my technical expertise and help the WPCA plan for a successful future. Sewer maintenance, capitol planning and proper rate schedules are all critical functions to operate the town sewers and the treatment plant. Properly structured systems will allow for future expansion and continued maintenance of the system. I would like to work with the board to ensure these three functions are appropriately accounted for.
Since joining the board, we have had many personnel and operation changes within the WPCA. I would like to continue working with the board and department to improve our operations while minimizing impacts to our rate payers.
