However, in just over a month two water utility employees in the U.S. have been shot in the face while on the job.Last Friday, Oct. 23, a City of Chicago Water Department worker was shot just before 8 a.m. shortly after arriving to the sewer repair project job site in the South Side Auburn-Gresham neighborhood — “fired on … while getting ready to set up for the day,” a water department spokesperson described.Chicago: Chicago Water Dept worker
