Board Zones

The Authority covers approximately 22 square miles and continues to grow. Several distinct communities that receive service from Sunrise lie within that area. To assure that customers receive equitable representation, the Board of commissioners are elected from seven zones defined by population. The zone boundaries are updated every ten years after the decennial census in order to remain as equal in population as possible.
