Scott Maloni was sworn in today as the newest member of Olivenhain Municipal Water District’s Board of Directors.

Voters in OMWD’s Division 2—consisting of communities in Carlsbad and Encinitas— overwhelmingly selected Mr. Maloni as their representative to the Board of Directors in the November 5 general election.

“The Olivenhain Municipal Water District is one of the most recognized and respected public water agencies in California,” said Mr. Maloni. “I look forward to working collaboratively with my colleagues and our professional staff to build on the District’s legacy of providing reliable and cost-effective water and wastewater services to our residents and businesses,” he said. 

Mr. Maloni’s professional experience includes his work at Black & Veatch, an employee-owned, global infrastructure engineering firm, where he serves as the Desalination Solution Growth Leader. Additionally, in his professional capacity Mr. Maloni partners with the private sector and state and local governments in California and the western United States with a focus on distributed energy, electrification and decarbonization, and sustainability. Prior to his current position, Mr. Maloni was the Vice President of Project Development for Poseidon Water, where he was a member of the executive team that successfully developed the Claude “Bud” Lewis Carlsbad Seawater Desalination Plant as a public-private partnership. 

He and his wife have lived in Encinitas for 20 years where they raised their three children. Mr. Maloni holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in Public Policy from Brown University.

Mr. Maloni takes over the Division 2 seat from Larry Watt, who was appointed by the board in 2011. Mr. Watt did not seek reelection. The board consists of five members who hold office for four-year terms.
