Kenneth Hoving

Kenneth Hoving was appointed to the Rincon del Diablo Municipal Water District Board of Directors in 2026. A lifelong Escondido resident and Rincon customer, Director Hoving brings more than four decades of business leadership, operational management, and sustainability experience to the Board. Director Hoving currently serves on the Public Information Inter-Governmental Relations and Finance, Insure, and Personnel committees and was recently appointed as the District’s representative to ACWA-JPIA.

After graduating from Escondido High School, Hoving earned a business degree from San Diego State University in 1985. He spent more than 45 years in the commercial mechanical contracting and energy industries, including executive leadership roles with responsibility for operations, profit and loss management, and strategic growth. During the final six years of his career, he focused on energy sustainability initiatives, including cogeneration, solar energy, HVAC efficiency projects, lighting retrofits and electric vehicle charging infrastructure.

A longtime student of California’s water history and infrastructure, Hoving has maintained a deep interest in water resource management, conservation, and sustainability throughout his career. He joined the Board following his retirement in April 2026, motivated by a desire to give back to the community he has called home for more than 55 years.

As a Director, Hoving is committed to providing strong fiduciary oversight, supporting long-term infrastructure investment, promoting operational efficiency, and helping ensure Rincon continues to deliver reliable, high-quality water service at a reasonable cost.

Director Hoving and his wife have been married for nearly 40 years and have two adult children and two granddaughters. In his free time, he enjoys golf, snow skiing, water skiing, and spending time with family.
