San Juan Water District ~ Board of Directors
Thank you for allowing me to serve you by ensuring our community has a safe, affordable and reliable drinking water supply.
I'm seeking re-election to the San Juan Water Board of Directors. As a board member, my foremost responsibility and fiduciary duty is to protect and provide you with reliable, clean, safe and affordable drinking water. With extensive experience in water management and a strong commitment to our ratepayers, I advocate for your concerns at San Juan Water District and the Sacramento Region.
I prioritize accountability and responsibility to you, our customers, while fostering crucial partnerships with sister agencies to ensure sustainability and reliability in delivering safe water.
Our pre-1914 water rights at Folsom Lake Reservoir face ongoing challenges and attacks from state and federal agencies. I have build trusted relationships with Congressional representatives, the Governor's office and the State, and through those relationships, I've safeguarded these right and brought home our fair share of over $1.2 million in federal tax dollars in grants to enhance our infrastructure reliability.
My leadership extends to roles as President of the state's premier Association of California Water Agencies, Regional Water Authority, and Sacramento Groundwater Authority. I've championed policies like the California Resiliency Portfolio and Forest Management initiatives to protect our water sources from wildfire risks.
With a proven track record and a deep commitment to our water community, I am dedicated to building a resilient future together. Help me with your support to ensure a sustainable water future for all of us. Thank You.
Leadership
Pam Tobin has served on the Sacramento area’s San Juan Water District Board of Directors and on the Regional Water Authority/Sacramento Groundwater Authority Board of Directors since 2004. She has been active in the Association of California Water Agencies (ACWA) as a Board Member and Region 4 Chair, belonging to the Federal Affairs and Local Government committees, as well as on the ACWA-Joint Powers Authority Board of Directors and Liability Committee. Pam works as a Realtor and property developer with more than 30 years of experience as a business owner.
As your candidate, Pam Tobin knows the value of being connected. That's why she's running for this position. Help her - help you.
Pam Tobin is standing firm against the Sacramento Suburban Water District’s takeover of the San Juan Water District. She is the only candidate fighting to protect our local control over water rights. Pam asserts, 'Don’t give away our local control! We must drill our own wells for water storage and become self-sufficient."
This takeover would hand control of our water usage and rates to Sacramento, allowing outside interests to dictate how we manage our resources. Under this proposal, the Sacramento Suburban Water District could raise water rates, impose mandatory rationing, and control landscaping regulations—decisions that should remain with our community and our ratepayers.
Pam is dedicated to securing federal and state tax dollars to help us drill our own wells within the San Juan Water District, ensuring we remain independent from Sacramento’s influence. Stand with Pam Tobin for re-election—together, we can protect our water rights and maintain local control by drilling our own wells NOW!

I am thrilled to announce that I have received the unanimous endorsement of the Fair Oaks Water District (FOWD) Board, including President Misha Sarkovich, and board members Mr. Petersen, Mr. McRae, Mr. Dolby, and Mr. Marx. The only candidate to secure this huge endorsement!
This significant support underscores the strong relationships we’ve built with our fellow water agencies—what I like to call our "family" of agencies.
Importantly, this endorsement also reflects the Fair Oaks Water District’s stance against the proposed merger between Sacramento Suburban Water District (SSWD) and San Juan Water District (SJWD). Together, we recognize the potential risks of such a merger and the need to maintain our local control and independence.
This endorsement is not just a personal victory; it represents a commitment to collaboration and cooperation among local water districts for the greater good. We are united in our mission to provide all our customers with clean, affordable, and reliable drinking water.
By strengthening our alliances with wholesale customers and other local agencies, we can enhance the quality of service we provide and ensure that every household has access to vital resources.
I am proud to have earned this trust and confidence from the FOWD. As I move forward in my campaign, I will continue to prioritize collaboration to further strengthen SJWD and our commitment to serving all our customers.
Thank you for your ongoing support as we work together to create a brighter future for our community!
Sincerely,
Pam Tobin
