Peel MHK Tim Crookall says he is looking forward to taking charge at the Isle of Man Water Authority.
The appointment was part of Chief Minister Tony Brown's mid-term reshuffle of board and department members, and Mr Crookall found out he was to chair the authority at the weekend.
He says the opportunity came as a surprise, but he is more than willing to take on the responsibility for maintaining the Island's water supply.
However, he believes it's far from being an easy job:
Manx Care 'reviewing' findings of landmark UK maternity reports
Inquiries are 'substantial and present important learning opportunities for all maternity services'
Businesses passing on the VAT reduction to families
But families are being more careful with their money
