The Nipomo Community Services District has hired a public information assistant to handle public outreach and keep district customers informed regarding water and wastewater services.

Jessica Matson started working at the district office Tuesday as a part-time employee on a contract basis. She will work about 20 hours a week for the district at $15 per hour, said district General Manger Michael LeBrun.

With her hiring, Nipomo residents can expect to see a quarterly, districtwide newsletter and an improved district website.

The Nipomo district board in October had unanimously approved a job description and salary range for the position.

Matson, who has a background in marketing and community outreach, can be reached at 929-1133 or jmatson@ncsd.ca.gov  . More information about the district can be found at http://nipomocsd.com.
