The Town of Shelby is deeply saddened to share that Kurt Knutson, President of the Shelby Sanitary District #2, passed away peacefully on June 26, 2025. Kurt was a valuable member of the Sanitary District for 26 years, and the Town is beyond grateful for his many years of service.
Kurt was first appointed Commissioner to the Town of Shelby Sanitary District #2 Board in 1999 and was appointed to the position of President of the Sanitary District in 2019. Prior to serving on the Sanitary District, Kurt was the Chairman of the Wedgewood Water Trust and served the community in this capacity from 1993 until 2011, when he advocated for the Town of Shelby to take over as the owner of the Wedgewood Water System.
Kurt’s guidance and leadership for the management of Shelby’s water and sanitary sewer systems, his commitment to protect public health, and his valued friendship, will leave a lasting legacy for the Town of Shelby. He will be greatly missed.
