Thank you Mr. Chair, I have 1 item to discuss this evening.
As part of its commitment to customer service, the District conducts two different types of customer
surveying on an annual basis.
The first type of surveying is titled the Post-Contact Customer Survey. Post-Contact surveying is
conducted with customers that have proactively contacted the District with a service or billing issue. Each month, the District surveys 150 of these customers, with the number evenly split between
service and billing calls. The results of this surveying are aggregated into quarterly reports that staff uses to monitor and improve our customer service.
The second type of surveying is titled the Annual Customer Satisfaction Survey. Customer Satisfaction surveying is conducted with a representative sample of all of the District’s customers. Versus the Post-
Contact surveying, participants in the Customer Satisfaction Survey may or may not have contacted
MSD with a service or billing issue during the course of the year. Customer Satisfaction surveying solicits feedback on a broad set of topics about MSD and its performance.
I would like to invite Ryan Murray, who is with our survey contractor, the ETC Institute, to provide the board and the public with the results of the most recent annual surveying.
Ryan Murray introduced himself to the Board and proceeded to provide a review of the Customer Satisfaction Survey.
