The City of Marshalltown is seeking volunteer applicants for an opening on the Water Works Board of Trustees, term ending May 1, 2028.
This Board consists of three members who serve six-year terms and meet monthly. This is one of the only non-elected boards in the City that are compensated for their service.
The Board of Trustees is responsible for the requirements as set forth in the Marshalltown Code of Ordinances, 31.046. The board selects and hires a General Manager to oversee the daily operations. This group is also responsible for approving policies related to the operations and use of the water system, ensuring compliance with federal and state regulations and setting rates to pay for the operations of the system and capital improvements. The Treatment Plant can treat 12 million gallons per day to 147 miles of water mains to 10,127 customers who are billed bi-monthly except larger users who are billed monthly. The utility contracts with CIRWA to provide treated water to parts of 13 counties and 30 other small communities in central Iowa.
If appointed the person will be required to attend training on Iowa Code Chapter 21 Open Meetings and Chapter 22 Open Records within 90 days of appointment.
