How to be a public affairs consultant for your local water district

A good political pedigree helps if qualifications are minimal

Your local water district provides great job opportunities for salaried and contract consultants.

There are professional-services consultants (financial affairs, systems training, engineering, regulatory, etc.) and non professional-services consultants (communications: e.g. branding, polling, politics, etc.) working for water districts.

The water district consultants I’ve met over the past 16 years (especially in the communications and regulatory categories) are always smiling.
