Tuolumne Utilities District Names New General Manager – Tom Scesa
I want to take this time to introduce myself to you. This has been a quick transition for me as TUD District Engineer to General Manager. If you had met me a month ago, I most likely would have told you that I was preparing to retire from TUD in the spring of 2014. My reason for accepting the opportunity to be General Manager of TUD is my dedication to this community and our staff to move TUD in a forward direction.
I have been with the District since 1996 and was previously the District Engineer since 2003. Prior to my career at TUD I had my own civil engineering and architecture business in Sonora from 1988 to 1996. One of my first tasks as General Manager is to work with the Board of Directors to develop a list of performance objectives that I am to accomplish as General Manager. I believe one of the important steps is to move forward with the completion of the Treated Water System Optimization Plan which will benefit the District and Tuolumne County. The focus of this project is to develop a comprehensive “roadmap” to increase water system operating efficiencies, to develop a prioritized plan for infrastructure replacement and improvements with a 20 year planning horizon.
