Rotary hears ‘Our Water, Our Future’ presentation
At the weekly meeting of the Rotary Club of Tehachapi on Aug. 15, the club welcomed Tom Neisler, general manager of the Tehachapi-Cummings County Water District. Neisler has been with the water district since 2013, stepping into the position of general manager in 2016. He studied civil engineering at San Diego State University, and has an extensive background in civil engineering and construction, working many years in both the public and private sector. He is active in the Association of California Water Agencies, serving on the board of directors at both the regional and state level. At the Tehachapi-Cummings County Water District, Neisler says that their motto of “Our Water, Our Future,” is a very true statement, because water resources are essential to life. Water will continue to be important in the future, as the water in California is decreasing, in addition to being insufficient to meet current and future needs.
