Board Members
The District is governed by a 14 member Board of Directors. Directors serve four-year terms and are appointed by the Mesa County District Court System. The Distric's service area is divided into five sub-districts so that the entire District is represented equally based on the population served.
Term expirations come up each year in May with application deadlines in April of each year. An applicant for director from the available sub-district must live in and be the owner of real property within that sub-district, must have resided within the District boundaries for a period of not less than one year, and must have a background reflecting agricultural, municipal, industrial or other interests in the beneficial use of water and water matters within the District.
