Commissioner Poulsen Selected as New Water District Manager
 Wade Poulsen of Alamo was chosen to be the new General Manager of the Lincoln County Water District (LCWD). The LCWD general manager’s office, to begin with, will be located at the Building and Safety Department in the basement of the Courthouse in Pioche.
The choice was made by the Board, at their regular monthly meeting November 19. Glenn Zelch, of Pioche was the other finalist. Nine people applied for the position, with some applications coming from out of state. Eight of the nine, were given a personal interview with the Board during the search process. LCWD Secretary Joanne Dixon said one person did not show up for the initial interview and apparently withdrew. Mr. Poulsen and Mr. Zelch were called back for final interviews before the Board November 19. Following the discussion, Board members made their selection of Wade Poulsen to be the new LCWD General Manager at an annual salary from water district funds, reportedly in the neighborhood of $60,000 plus benefits.

Alamo Irrigation Pipeline Project Going Again
The pipeline is moving again. Picking up from where they left off earlier this year, the Alamo Irrigation Company is laying new baby blue pipe in the open channel that has served the irrigation needs of Alamo for many years. Cleo Connell said they had to wait until the irrigation season ended before they could start laying pipe again. He said the plans are to go through Alamo to just south of Theresa Court and into the Alamo flood channel.
In two places, construction workers had to remove bridges that went over the cement channel. One was from 1st West Street that went across a set of old railroad ties to the Alamo Clinic. The other was the entrance to the Alamo Annex. It both cases the channel was too shallow and the pipe would not fit under the existing bridge. At present, both of those entrances are blocked off.
