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:
Plans submitted to change office into children's care facility
Would see development in Douglas city centre if approved
