Who can serve on water district boards

The law takes effect immediately on passage and approval. To be elected or appointed, you must be a registered voter, at least 18, and a U.S. citizen. You must live in the district, or own real property in the district and be a Montana resident. Property counts as yours if it is titled in your name or held by a corporation, partnership, LLC, or trust where you are an officer, partner, member, or trustee. Nonvoting ex officio members do not need to live in the district or own property there, but must meet the other rules. If a city or town appoints you, you must have knowledge of the municipal water system.
