A three-member commission is responsible for operating Mason PUD 3.

Their job includes setting policies for running PUD 3, adopting a budget each year, and determining rates and charges for services.

The commissioners meet twice each month at the Johns Prairie operations center in Shelton. The meetings usually start at 10:00 a.m. and the full schedule is available here.

Each of the PUD commission districts have about the same number of voters. A commissioner is elected from each of the three districts every two years to serve a six-year term.
