East Hampton is revising the job description for its Public Utilities Administrator, shifting the role to emphasize management and oversight of the Colchester/East Hampton Joint Facilities wastewater operations, the East Hampton WPCA, and the town’s public water systems rather than hands-on technical operations. The updated description highlights responsibilities for capital improvement planning, sewer and water project management, coordination of system expansions and connections for developers and individuals, and securing funding for public water system expansion. These changes signal a strategic focus on long-range planning, compliance, and multi-town utility coordination, including wastewater facilities planning, sewer expansion, and water system development.Vendors offering utility master planning, engineering, rate and user charge studies, CIP development, regulatory compliance support, and outsourced management or project delivery can align with the Town’s shift toward a more managerial, planning-oriented utilities function and upcoming sewer and water projects the Administrator will oversee.

The description notes ongoing responsibilities for individual sewer and water projects, sewer system expansion oversight, and pursuing funding for expanded public water systems, implying recurring consulting and contractor needs.
