This brief is based on the county's vacancy notice and meeting schedule. The notice does not describe trustee duties or pay.

When Are the Appointments?
The Commission will make the three appointments at its regular meeting on Tuesday, Nov. 17, 2026, at 4 p.m. in the Commission Chambers. The county's 2026 schedule lists Nov. 17 as the only regular commission meeting in November; the next are Dec. 1 and Dec. 15. The vacancy notice also lists a fourth, midterm seat expiring Dec. 31, 2026, with candidacy due Oct. 2 and an appointment set for Oct. 6. We did not find how that seat was filled.
What Does the District Do?
The notice does not describe the board's role. A Hurricane City Planning Commission staff report from Oct. 22 describes the district as the city's wholesale water provider under the 2006 Regional Water Supply Agreement, and says cities report platted lots and development agreement lots to the district each month to inform its 20-year plan for supplying the county's growth. The district's board meets at 6 p.m. at its office, 533 E Waterworks Drive, according to the district's meeting schedule, which lists meetings Dec. 1 and Dec. 17.
