SHELDON WILSON
1923 - 2011
Sheldon Wilson, lifelong resident of Sawyers Bar, was
instrumental in the operation and maintenance of the
Sawyers Bar County Water District Plant, which
provides water services for this community. To
insure that the town would have ample water he
deeded his water rights from Tanner’s gulch to the
S.B.C.W.D. His daily efforts to monitor the ongoing
operation, checking water flows to the plant. going: on
treks to trouble shoot problems with water diversion,
and taking water samples for testing were only part
of his routine in the ongoing efforts to provide water
to this community. He also completed a course of
study in Small Water Systems and Operations from
the School of Engineering at Cal State University in
Sacramento, in order to better serve his community
and its water needs. His dedication and unrelenting
commitment are unparalleled.
