Insurance Costs Remain Low While District Maximizes Every Dollar
ROWLAND HEIGHTS, CA (December 30, 2016) – Rowland Water District received special recognition during the Association of California Water Agencies (ACWA)/ Joint Powers Insurance Authority (JPIA) Fall Conference held earlier this month in Anaheim. Each year, the association commends water districts that have a prevention loss of twenty percent or less in three separate categories.
Rowland Water District was awarded in all three award categories including Liability, Property and Workers’ Compensation. The recognition is a result of the District’s historic approach to reducing insurance claims and keeping premiums as low as possible. In March of 2016, Rowland received a refund check for $34,939.85 from the JPIA, demonstrating the effectiveness of the overall operation and successful risk management.
“These awards truly underscore the District’s longstanding commitment to the protection of financial resources on behalf of our customers,” says Rowland Water District’s General Manager Tom Coleman. “We are extremely pleased to be recognized by ACWA/JPIA.”
Adopted in 2015, Rowland’s strategic plan “Effective Action For Sustainable Progress”, highlights the District’s core values and provides staff with a actionable blueprint. Financial stewardship, prioritization on workplace safety and sound operational efficiencies each contribute to the District’s ability to achieve this special recognition from ACWA/JPIA.
