Almaden Valley resident Teddy Morse retires from Santa Clara Valley Water District

Almaden Valley resident Teddy Morse, 56, recently retired from the Santa Clara Valley Water District Oct. 17 after 25 years of service. Morse began working for the Santa Clara Valley Water District in 1979, spending most of her nearly 25-year career as the water district’s public information officer.

Retirement from the water district is the beginning of a new career for Morse as she begins working with her husband in the family business, MorseComm, representing companies that sell satellite communications equipment for commercial and military applications.

“We have a vacation home at a golf resort in Central Oregon and plan on spending more time there,” Morse said. “But we’re Almaden Valley residents and will continue to maintain our main residence here where I plan on becoming more active in serving the community of Almaden.”

Morse and her husband, Tom, have been active in the Almaden community coaching youth basketball, soccer and softball while raising two daughters.

The Santa Clara Valley Water District manages Santa Clara County's wholesale drinking water resources, coordinates flood protection for its 1.7 million residents and provides stewardship for the county's 10 reservoirs and more than 700 miles of streams.
