The San Miguel Water Conservancy District (SMWCD) is responsible for selecting 3 members to the Norwood Water Commission (NWC). SMWCD is seeking letters from interested residents. To be eligible to apply: Applicants must live within the Norwood Water Commission district boundaries.

Priority will be given to those who live outside of the incorporated Town of Norwood boundaries and who own a water tap. However, the SMWCD board is interested in applicants with multiple skills to address the water quality and supply challenges NWC faces to serve a growing community; therefore, applicants who live within the town boundaries or do not own a water tap may be considered.

Applicants are encouraged to review the 2020 Norwood Water Commission Water Master

Plan and 2022 Town of Norwood/Norwood Water Commission Water Supply
