Press Release:

The San Lorenzo Valley Water District has a newly appointed Board Director. Rick Moran was chosen from a field of four highly qualified candidates to fill a vacancy on the board.

Mr. Moran served two terms on the Environmental Committee for the Water District and has remained engaged on current issues by attending Board meetings regularly. “This board has created an atmosphere where diligent work and civility are upheld. To be able to participate on behalf of Valley residents and ratepayers is a privilege,” Moran said.

Moran quoted the Water District slogan “ Pipes, Pumps and tanks,” comparing it to the Navy Submarine he sailed in for four years and the similar needs for upkeep and maintenance required for basic safety. His main goals are: to support the current goal of replacing the aged infrastructure; being mindful of keeping rates down; and protecting our environment in every project and our watershed as a whole.

Moran has served as the Post Commander of Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 5888 in Santa Cruz. He worked for the school district as a teacher at Quail Hollow, and SLV elementary as life lab instructor and White Oak High School.

Rick Moran encourages the public to participate in local government by attending a water district meeting. Your hopes, insights and ideas are welcome.
