Former Warren Utilities Director Robert Davis recently was hired to be president of Aqua Ohio water and wastewater utility.

Davis recently held the position of director of the public utilities for the city of Cleveland, where he was responsible for Cleveland Water, Cleveland Water Pollution Control and Cleveland Public Power.

He is replacing Ed Kolodziejas, who is retiring on Feb. 12 after 10 years of service.

In his new position, Davis will lead operations and administration for Aqua Ohio’s 33 water and five wastewater treatment facilities, which serve approximately 500,000 residents.

“I’m absolutely thrilled to be joining the Aqua team and honored that the company is putting its faith in me to lead one of its largest state operations,” Davis said.

Davis served as Cleveland’s director of public utilities since 2015.

He began his career at the Warren utility services department as a laborer and was promoted to several roles, including plant operator, superintendent of water treatment and distribution, and director of utility services.
