Thurston
County
Storm and Surface Water Utility
seeks volunteers for advisory board
OLYMPIA
– The Thurston
County Storm and Surface Water Utility is seeking volunteers to serve on its
citizen advisory board. Seven positions are open: four voting positions for
residents who live within the utility rate boundary, and three non-voting
positions for residents who live outside the boundary.
Advisory
board members are appointed by county commissioners. The positions are open only to residents who live in unincorporated
Thurston
County
, meaning outside of city limits.
The
Thurston County Storm and Surface Water Utility is a ratepayer-financed
program that works to curb problems caused by stormwater runoff and high
ground water levels, including flooding, pollution and erosion. The advisory
board meets every-other-month and makes
recommendations to staff and
Thurston
County
commissioners on issues such as construction plans, rates,
budgets, annual work programs, and policy proposals.
For
more information, call Chris Maun at 357-2491 or e-mail maunc@co.thurston.wa.us.
