By Gwenda Hiett-Clements News Editor Rusty Isler, computer information services manager at Island Water Association, knows what he will be doing at midnight Dec. 31 when 1999 turns to 2000. That's because Isler works in one of the areas of most concern to individu- als and experts — public utilities. "I imagine I'll be right here at IWA when the time conies," he said. "A lot of companies are sending out memos now for people not to plan on taking at vacation at that time." IWA has two areas of concern for its customers — the water production side, and the administrative and billing side. Jacque Owens, information services coordinator, and Pho Los I Michael Pistella Isler have been handling the administrative side.

"We're lucky that our board policy has always been to keep up to date. We have Windows *98 on every machine. I think we will have fewer problems than others since we just will be changed out in May.
