June 10, 2026 – After nine years as a member of the Triunfo Water and Sanitation District (TWSD) Board of Directors, including serving as board chair, Ray Tjulander announced he is stepping down effective June 25, 2026.

“Ray’s positive impact on ensuring that current and future water needs of our customers are met cannot be overstated,” says TWSD General Manager Mark Norris. “His leadership was instrumental in pushing forward the start of construction of the Pure Water Project’s Advanced Water Purification Facility under the Las Virgenes-Triunfo Joint Powers Authority. The facility will serve customers for decades to come.”

Tjulander, a retired aerospace engineer, was appointed to the Triunfo Water & Sanitation District board in July 2017. He served as Chair in 2021 and as Vice Chair in 2024.

“I have truly enjoyed and appreciated the opportunity to serve the district and its residents over these past nine years,” says Tjulander. “It has been deeply meaningful to contribute to the important work of supporting reliable water and sanitation services for the communities the district serves.”

Those interested in serving on the TWSD Board of Directors should complete an appointment application, available at www.triunfowsd.com/board-vacancy.

The deadline to apply is Wednesday, July 8, 2026, at 5:00pm.
