The West Basin Municipal Water District (West Basin) is requiring that all employees must submit proof of vaccination or submit a request for reasonable accommodation under a medical or religious exemption, effective August 2021. Those employees who are not vaccinated or who request accommodation will be required to submit to weekly COVID-19 testing.
With a surge in the Delta variant of the coronavirus and a partial return to the office for the approximately 50 employees of West Basin, the Interim General Manager, under the direction of the Board of Directors, made the decision in order to ensure a safe and full reopening.
