DOW Appoints New Deputy Manager-Engineer

The Department of Water’s interim Manager and Chief Engineer Mark R. Knoff appointed Judith A. Hayducsko as the Deputy Manager-Engineer of the Department of Water (DOW) effective June 1, 2021.

“I am confident that Judy will serve the Department and the Kauai community well due to her vast knowledge of the public utility,” Knoff said.

Hayducsko is originally from Pennsylvania who has served as the Chief of Operations with the Department of Water Supply, County of Hawai’i, managing an operational team of 100 members. Like the DOW, but at a larger scale, her operational team was responsible for maintaining 23 public water systems with 1,000 miles of main, with over 200 reservoirs, 67 sources, including seven spring sources and surface water treatment plants.

“I am looking forward to the opportunity of serving the residents and visitors who rely on safe potable water and working closely with water’s partner agencies,” Hayducsko said.

Hayducsko looks forward to leading the DOW in its future endeavors, as well as exploring Kaua’i as a resident after years of vacation visits.
