The consulting engineering firm of Gray & Osborne identified a number of capital improvement projects that were planned through the Comprehensive Water System Plan and implemented, including addition of two new storage tanks. These improvements helped the Association to comply with building and safety codes, as well as to meet state requirements for water flows to fight fires. The Association initiated additional telemetry projects for gathering real time information on the performance of the system’s wells, and also the computerization and automation of office systems.

In 2008, Scott Hemingway was promoted to be the Association’s first General Manager.  Jeremy Reier was hired in March of that year as Field Operations Manager. The Association began planning an emergency intertie with the Sammamish Plateau Water and Sewer District, which was completed in 2009.  Also in 2009, the Board began looking into the feasibility of moving the Association’s office from the rental space on Fall City Water District property to a building that would be constructed and owned by the Association.

In 2010, the Association began installing “radio-read” meters to replace the old manual reading meters. The radio read meters allow faster, more efficient and more accurate monthly meter data collection. The replacement effort was completed by 2013. What once took several days with two staff members to “read meters” is now easily accomplished by one staff member in the morning of a single day with improved accuracy.

Kristina Myers began as the new Business Manager early in 2012, and a few months later, Bob Pancoast became the new Water System Manager.  The Vista Well/Booster project, which was the largest project ever undertaken to date by the Association, was completed in 2013. This project was a key component in modernizing the system and improved water pressure in several areas.
