William Daniel, who has been Shreveport’s Director of Water and Sewerage since 2020, has advised Mayor Tom Arceneaux that he is resigning, effective on May 6, 2025. He plans to relocate to south Louisiana, where he has elderly family members who need more care than he can provide while living in Shreveport.

“William Daniel brought steady leadership, focus, and deep technical expertise to one of the most complex departments in the city,” said Mayor Tom Arceneaux. “We appreciate his dedication and the steps taken under his watch to move the department forward. We are grateful for his service and wish him all the best in retirement.”

Brandon Snead, the current Deputy Director of Water and Sewerage, will serve as the department’s Interim Director until a permanent replacement is nominated by the mayor and confirmed by the City Council.
