It's been my pleasure to serve as one of your water commissioners since 2004.  My wife Sarah and our five children love our community and the opportunity to serve.  My first post high school job  in 1991 was working for you at the Water District: painting fire hydrants, maintaining wells, reading water meters, and learning District operations.  As a Commissioner, we've kept rates reasonable and affordable.  We successfully installed a filtration system to provide better water.  We invest in water mains and facilities.  We continue to plan and implement projects to keep the system reliable.  We recently executed a 40 year agreement to provide for the Districts short and long term water needs, which results in millions of dollars of savings over the term of that agreement.  Thank you for allowing me to represent you.  I appreciate your vote and the opportunity to continue representing you in the future.
