Dean Grant brings 20 years of experience in the water and wastewater industry to his new position as public works director water/wastewater for the City of Bowie.
Grant replaces Ramon Johnson who left the position about three months ago to take a job closer to his family in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex.
The 39-year-old Grant and his wife, Christy, move to Bowie from Liberty Hill, located outside Georgetown in south Texas.
The couple has a son, Chandler who graduated high school and will be attending college; a daughter, Bailey, who will be a junior at Bowie High School; and daughter Ainsley who will be in eighth grade.
His most recent job was with Pumps of Houston where he worked in sales to utilities. Grant said while he liked the sales work for the past year and a half, he began to miss working in the field and plants.

The regular meeting of the Bowie City Council for July 22 has been cancelled. City Manager Bert Cunningham and Mayor Gaylynn Burris will be attending the Texas Public Power Association conference.
City of Bowie officials were on hand to inspect the emergency electrical generators that were delivered last week.
Mayor Gaylynn Burris and City Manager Bert Cunningham inspected one of three emergency electrical generators purchased as part of an ongoing Federal Emergency Management Agency Hazard Mitigation Grant. They also talked with Jay Evans, head of the city electric department, and Jerry Sutton, director of the water treatment plant about the next step for installation of the generators.
This grant provides funding for one 150 kW and two 250 kW generators for use at the water treatment plant.
