Bill believes that water in all areas (delivery, acquisition, quality, etc) will be one of the most pressing items faced by communities and service districts in the years to come. He feels that the Rural Water Association of Utah must play an important role in presenting a reasonable, effective, broad based political presence and the necessary technical assistance to benefit all of its members. Bill's willingness to be involved and do his part to make a difference will undoubtedly take a giant step toward achieving Rural Water Association of Utah's goal.
