Executive Director’s Message

In 1992, I was appointed by the Kane County Commission as one of the six members of the Board of Trustees of the newly formed Kane County Water Conservancy District (KCWCD). The district was formed after an overwhelming vote of the citizens to not only to establish the district but to agree to a property tax to support the new district. In 1996 the Executive Director position for the KCWCD was vacated. I applied for the position and was hired by the board. Since that time, the board of trustees has supported me and my professional staff in our efforts to develop, improve, and increase the water resources of Kane County. As you look through this website, you will get a sense of what has been accomplished in the past 16 years as we have worked to meet the water demands in the county.

There is no question that Kane County is one of the most beautiful places to live in Utah and in the west. Over the past 20 years we have seen the population of the county increase 37% or almost 2000 people. If we include the growth in second homes and small businesses in the county, the demand for new municipal water has increased by over 50%. In order to plan for the expected future water needs of the citizens of Kane County, it is imperative that the KCWCD continues to develop our water resources in a timely and professional manner. Thanks for allowing us to serve you.
