What are the responsibilities and job description for the Accounts Payable Clerk position at Colorado River Municipal Water District?
The Colorado River Municipal Water District (CRMWD) was created in 1949 by the 51st Texas State Legislature for the purpose of providing raw water to the West Texas cities of Big Spring, Odessa, and Snyder. Today, in addition to these original member communities, the District also provides raw water to the cities of Midland, San Angelo, Stanton, Robert Lee, Grandfalls, Abilene, and the Millersville-Doole Water Supply Corporation, supplying wholesale raw water to more than 600,000 residents. In a unique water supply arrangement, the District also operates an environmentally recognized “diverted water” system. This system captures lesser quality, highly mineralized low flow water from the Colorado River and diverts or sells this still-valuable water commodity to existing petroleum industries for use in their secondary oil and gas recovery operations.
