About

Meet Tahir

Nobody thinks about the water district until the water stops. Tahir Charles has spent his career on the other side of that — the mains, the lift stations, the treatment plants that hold a neighborhood together while it gets on with its day.

That work has carried him from the field to the table where the decisions get made, always with the same belief: a utility board is a service job, not a title. It runs on maintenance, plain numbers, and answering the phone.

He's asking District 89 for the chance to bring that same steady, roll-up-your-sleeves approach to the board — leadership measured not by promises, but by whether the system actually works.

Platform

Where I Stand

Four priorities, all of them inside what this board actually controls — water, wastewater, rates, and service.

01

Water You Can Trust

Steady pressure and water that meets every standard, every test — with results the District publishes plainly instead of burying them.

02

Wastewater & Drainage

Lines and lift stations maintained before they fail, not after. On the Gulf Coast the storm is coming — the question is whether the system is ready for it.

03

Rates You Can Follow

Every dollar on the bill traceable to the work it paid for. Ratepayers deserve to see the math before a rate moves, not after.

04

Service That Answers

Billing questions resolved, emergencies answered around the clock, and a board that residents can actually reach between meetings.
