Valley Water is currently accepting applications for vacant seats on the Youth Commission in the following board districts: 1, 2, 3, 6 & 7. If you are interested or know of any young people aspiring to be a leader, a change agent, and advocate for their peers, please encourage them to apply for this unique opportunity.

Incoming freshmen for fall 2019 are welcomed to apply. Outgoing seniors in spring 2019 are not eligible to apply. The youth must also reside in the respective district they are applying to represent.
