Lower Valley Water District GM Under Fire

Lower Valley Water District General Manager Jack Alayyan faced a personnel issue at the last board meeting and the Board took no action on the item. Here's a link to the agenda item.

A source close to the situation alleges that there is an allegation of sexual harassment at issue. It was not clear what, if any, personnel action was taken against Alayyan.

A different source indicates that the Lower Valley Water District has allegedly already had to pay out more than $50,000 in settlements related to the Alayyan on another case related to sexual harassment.

The Lower Valley Water District is funded by the fees collected from areas they service including Socorro, San Eli, and Clint and other areas in the lower valley and a tax rate set by their board.

So their customers and tax payers are paying for this bill.
