Jay Sayrahder (Incumbent)
My wife and I have lived in the New Harmony valley since 2017 and have taken an active part, volunteering to participate in many of the community activities. My expertise is from 34 years in all facets of Aviation and 20 plus years as a Federal Law Enforcement Officer. In 2019, the Rural Water Association of Utah (RWAU) required Mountain Springs Water Company to implement and administrate a state certified Cross Connection Control Program by the end of year 2020. I was approached and asked to fill the position. I gladly volunteered to administer this program. As Administrator, I attended a one week certification class at the RWAU conference in St George and achieved certification. I have maintained certification by attending annual refresher courses provided by the Rural Water Association of Utah. As Cross Connection Control Program Administrator, I participated in monthly water board meetings. In 2022 I was elected to serve a two-year term on the Mountain Springs Water Board. I am eager to serve another term and continue as an active participant in the preservation of New Harmony and quality in our Water Company. I strive to learn more about our water system so as to better serve you and our community here in the valley. Jay Sayrahder
