Every month, we proudly introduce two of our dedicated team members who contribute to our company's success. Join us in highlighting their hard work, unique talents, and the passion they bring to their respective roles at the District. Get to know the people behind our achievements and learn what makes our team truly special.

Meet - Reyes Avalos

Reyes has been a part of the Stockton East Water District team for years, bringing consistency, skill, and heart to everything he does. Working in Maintenance, he plays a key role in keeping our systems running strong and improving legacy infrastructure that serves our community every day.

What really stands out about Reyes is his determination. Early on, he struggled with basic wiring and electrical work—but instead of giving up, he pushed himself to learn, grow, and master his craft. That drive to get better has shaped not only his career but the high standards he brings to every project.

He says the most satisfying part of his job is seeing large projects come together and knowing he helped make it happen. Whether it’s tackling complex electrical issues or improving long-standing systems, Reyes takes pride in doing the work right.

Outside of work, Reyes is all about family. He enjoys collecting things and spending time with his loved ones. And here’s something most people don’t know—when he was a kid, he used to ride bareback and do a little cowboying at rodeos in Mexico with his family.

Meet - Bianca Rodriguez

Bianca Rodriguez has been with Stockton East Water District since April 2023, and currently serves as an Administrative Assistant, supporting our constituents through both Human Resources and Board Clerk functions.

Bianca’s favorite part about working at Stockton East is the positive and collaborative work environment. She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Sociology, and upon completing her studies, she realized that a career in Human Resources would allow her to combine her interest in people with her desire to make a meaningful impact in the workplace.

She enjoys the variety and learning opportunities her position provides, balancing responsibilities across HR and administrative support. Outside of work, Bianca loves shopping for designer items, discovering new styles, and keeping up with the latest fashion trends.

Few people know that Bianca once almost moved to Southern California, but she ultimately chose to build her career closer to home — a decision that has made her an invaluable part of our SEWD family. Bianca continues to contribute significantly to the District’s success and exemplifies SEWD’s core values of teamwork, integrity, and dedication.
