The company is actually an Irrigation District. Most of them are over 100 years old at this point. There are a handful throughout the US.

The votes are every 4 years. Its on your ballot, like senators. We'll have campaign ads on TV with "Vote for ____! They care about the ratepayers!". Some people run on keeping rates low, some run on sustainability for the farmer's water. Its all very interesting to me.

That's fascinating! Wish I had that kind of control over my utilities. Thanks for the insight!
