Sam Lusk Retires from PWD Board

Sam Lusk recently left the Powdersville Water District (PWD) Board of Directors after serving for 13 years. A plaque commemorating his years of service was presented to him at the December board meeting. Sam has been a customer of PWD since it began operation in 1971.

During Sam’s  tenure he has faithfully worked with the Board to make dramatic technological changes including implementing computer controls for tanks and valves and converting all meters from manual read to meters that can be read electronically. He was on the Board when it recruited PWD’s first General Manager, Dyke Spencer. “He has been a true public servant in the water industry and has been directly involved in many good changes that have helped this community develop in a proactive fashion,” Spencer commented.

“I have thoroughly enjoyed being a member of this Board,” said Mr. Lusk. “I appreciate the friendships I’ve made and will miss the board members and employees of PWD.”

Sam is a retired distributor for new and used commercial refrigeration products. He and his wife, Margaret, reside on Old Pendleton Road in Easley where they continue to be an asset to their local church and community.

Phil Landreth, Chairman, summarized it well: “Sam will be missed. We have appreciated his active participation as a member of the Board and welcome his continued support to keep us on our path of excellence for the future.”
