“We are pleased to welcome our new and returning colleagues to the NSWCA,” NSWCA President Thomas P. Hand stated. “Commissioner-run water districts enable residents and consumers to express their opinions and preferences through the voting process. One commissioner from each district is elected to represent the people. This puts emphasis on a hyper-local basis in each community. In such hyper-local elections, every resident’s vote truly counts.”
