Interim Water System Charge Operator

To all Patrons:

The District Board of Directors approved and entered into an Agreement with Idaho Rural Water Association (IRWA), signed on December 31, 2020, to hire an interim licensed Water System Charge Operator until the Board hires a new Water System District Manager.  Jim Williamson, KCWD#1's DEQ Drinking Water Compliance Officer was notified, and issued the following statement regarding this transition:

"Thank you for your close coordination during the operator transition period. I spoke with Paul Sifford and he is the designated responsible charge operator (RCO) of the treatment and distribution drinking water systems at KCWD1 as of January 5, 2021.  As such, daily reporting of monthly operating compliance monitoring to this office is no longer required, and all compliance reporting will need to be reviewed by Paul until a permanent RCO is designated." 

The Board has received, to date, seven applications for the open District Water System Manager position and is in the process of qualifying and then scheduling interviews with candidates.

Thank you for your patience during this transition period.
