Rincon del Diablo Municipal Water District has been recognized as one of the Best Places to Work in San Diego County. This honor came thanks to the hard work of our incredible employees and the culture of service they embrace every day. Over the next several months, we’re going to introduce you to the dedicated, amazing people who are the heart of Rincon Water!
MEET ALEX!
Alex Anderson loves working with -- and figuring out -- new technology, which is ideal as he’s the Information Technology Manager for Rincon Water! Alex works behind the scenes to support day-to-day operations, providing IT security and keeping everything running safely for Rincon’s customers, the Board of Directors and the entire staff.
Alex has more than 26 years of experience working in IT, starting his career with the City of Murrieta before moving into the private sector and then to Rincon in 2023.
The biggest challenge for Alex (and the biggest challenge for most people working in IT) is cybersecurity. Unfortunately, bad actors are working day and night to disrupt or even hold computer systems and data for ransom. Alex works diligently to check Rincon’s systems for vulnerabilities and fix any areas of weakness; your privacy and information security is his No. 1 priority.
Another area of focus is rolling out new technologies and equipment. While change is often difficult, it’s necessary to ensure Rincon is using the most efficient and reliable technology for its critical systems.
In his free time, Alex loves live music – attending as many concerts as he can fit into his schedule. His last concert was Pearl Jam, but at the top of his list of “best concerts” is the Human League who he saw at the Darker Waves Festival in Huntington Beach. ... See MoreSee Less

Meet Jesus Duenas!
Jesus Duenas has been with Rincon Water for the past three years, having joined us from a facilities maintenance position at a local casino resort. In his job at the resort, Jesus was tasked with fixing anything and everything that was broken – a key skill set he brought with him to his role at Rincon.
Moving from hospitality to the water industry was a significant change, but a friend working at another water district recommended it as a strategic career path. It didn’t take Jesus long to realize how true this was; Rincon Water offers opportunities for career growth and a much better work-life balance, allowing him to spend more time with his family.
Jesus has lived in North County for the past 10 years and he welcomes the wide range of work he does for Rincon Water and its customers. Recently, he passed the Distribution 1 certification and began working more in the community, a role he finds exciting and fulfilling. It was his co-workers who encouraged him to return to school to receive his advanced certification; since then, he has achieved his Distribution 2 certification, giving him the skills required to work on critical water infrastructure.
Outside of work, Jesus and his family are passionate about soccer, playing together on weekends near their Temecula home. His 8-year-old son plays for a local soccer club, and both Jesus and his wife, who met playing soccer, have been involved in the sport since they were young. They both play recreationally and are planning for their 4-year-old daughter to pick up the sport when she gets a bit older
The family is also in love with Disney movies, with "Up" and "Inside Out" being among their favorites. Much to the excitement of his children, Jesus and his wife recently added a dog named Simba to their family – a tribute to The Lion King.
If Jesus were giving advice to anyone considering a career change, he would encourage them to pursue a position in the water industry. He finds it is a profession full of opportunities and he takes great pride in his work at Rincon Water. ... See MoreSee Less

Sean Glaser has been a dedicated member of the Rincon Water team for more than two decades. He started his journey in facilities maintenance and transitioned three years ago to his current role as an Administrative Assistant in Conservation. Sean's passion lies in helping customers understand their water usage and assisting them in saving both water and money.
One of Sean’s proudest accomplishments is his certification as an irrigation auditor. Through Rincon's home landscape survey program, Sean helps coordinate on-site inspections and field notes to help customers reduce water consumption. This free service, available to our customers every three years, helps address common issues like leaks and inefficient irrigation. Sean is also responsible for ensuring compliance with backflow measures, crucial for both residential and business customers.
Sean's commitment to educating future generations is clear from his outreach work. This year, he conducted 11 classroom visits for 4th-grade students in schools across the district, focusing on preventing storm drain pollution. He finds it amazing how much these students already understand about water conservation.
One of the most rewarding aspects of Sean's job is talking to customers every day. He takes pride in helping them resolve questions about their water bills, feeling like a detective as he identifies the underlying issues and provides guidance that can save customers money.
Outside of work, Sean enjoys creating and playing ambient music with effect pedals. As a talented musician, he is influenced by his favorite group, the Cure. He’s also an enthusiastic sci-fi fan, with a special love for Star Trek. He's attended 20 Star Trek conventions, meeting many cast members. At home, he and his wife are kept company by two cats, Onyx and Marble, 7-year-old brothers whose names are inspired by their colors. When he's not at work, you might find him at Felix's BBQ with Soul in San Marcos, enjoying some St. Louis ribs.
Sean's story is a testament to all of the dedicated people at Rincon Water who truly care about their jobs, the community, and ensuring that our customers receive exceptional, personalized service. ... See MoreSee Less
