HONORING MRS. ANGELA LICATA AND HER TERM AS PRESIDENT OF THE
ASSOCIATION OF METROPOLITAN WATER AGENCIES
______
HON. THOMAS R. SUOZZI
of new york
in the house of representatives
Friday, October 21, 2022
Mr. SUOZZI. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the dedicated service of Angela Licata as she nears the conclusion of her term as President of the Association of Metropolitan Water Agencies.
Angela has spent more than thirty years of her career at the New York City Department of Environmental Protection, which each day delivers more than one billion gallons of fresh, clean drinking water to the taps of nine million customers throughout New York State. Over the years Angela has played key roles in contributing to New York City's PlaNYC blueprint for sustainable growth, identifying climate change adaptation strategies, launching analyses of sustainable water rate structures, and managing capital expense budgets to ensure appropriate investment in the infrastructure necessary to provide safe and reliable water service.
In addition, Angela has been a leader among her colleagues at the nation's drinking water utilities. Since 2014 she has served on the Board of Directors of the Association of Metropolitan Water Agencies
(AMWA), an organization representing the nation's largest publicly owned drinking water systems. She began her term as President of AMWA's board in 2020. During her time on the board she has testified before Congress on the challenges posed by lead service lines, actively participated in initiatives to increase diversity in the water sector, and outlined innovative approaches to achieving collaboration between climate scientists and the water utility community.
This month, Angela's term as President of AMWA's board will come to an end. Madam Speaker, I ask that my colleagues join with me today in recognizing Angela Licata for her service to AMWA, the people of New York, and the water sector as a whole. I am proud to count Angela among my constituents, and I wish her continued success and happiness in her career.
