William J. (Bud) Carroll is Chairman Emeritus of Montgomery Watson Harza, a Pasadena environmental engineering firm with offices worldwide. He held various positions while at Montgomery Watson, including chief engineer, president and CEO, and chairman of the board. During his years with the company, Carroll specialized in water and wastewater engineering. He prepared more than 50 master plans for water and sewage systems, designed treatment plants, reservoirs, and pumping stations, and was instrumental in the development of many public agencies, both at home and abroad. He participated in projects in 15 foreign countries. Carroll was originally a member of the Caltech's class of '45, but interrupted his academic career to serve as a U.S. Army Air Forces meteorologist during World War II. He joined Montgomery Watson (then known as James M. Montgomery) in 1951, and spent the early years of his career chiefly on projects within the United States - among them co-designing the San Diego Metropolitan Sewerage Project and developing a non-reclaimable waste system to handle industrial wastes for the Chino Basin. In later years, Carroll was increasingly involved in international projects such as the billion-dollar expansion of Manila's sewerage systems and the planning and design of water systems for seven cities in Indonesia. The recipient of many honors and awards, Carroll is a member of the National Academy of Engineering. He has also served as president of the World Federation of Engineering Organizations, the American Society of Civil Engineers, and the American Academy of Environmental Engineers. In 1975 he was president of the Caltech Alumni Association.
