Kelly Hinkle

Board Member - Director of Water Operations | DC Water

Kelly worked for the City of Wilmington for over 15 years, before recently moving to DC Water. At Wilmington Water Utility, she spent time in customer service, purchasing, and as a Project Manager for the Department of Public Works. During her career, Kelly has been integral in the execution of several projects, including a system-wide meter replacement program, the lead inventory efforts, the cross connection and backflow control program, and most recently was the lead on the project that will move the City of Wilmington to AMI. Having earned a degree in English, Kelly never intended to become a water professional but during her time with the utility she’s developed a great love for the work and a real curiosity about technologies that can move the industry forward. Outside of work, Kelly enjoys traveling, spending time outdoors, and is a big ice hockey fan.
