Vega said the District is "positioned, not only to grow in terms of its service area, but that will invest in its staff, so the organization can continue to provide reliable and cost effective water and wastewater service."

“As general manager, I will bring industry knowledge and managerial experience to promote team work, mentoring and support of the Districts goals to achieve the vision of the organization," he said.
