The Cumberland Water Utility Board is comprised of five members, which are the five serving members of the Town of Cumberland Town Council.  The Board meetings are conducted on the first Wednesday of the month at 7 p.m. in the Cumberland Town Hall and they are open to the public.  The Board is responsible for the financial oversight of the utility, and reviews all requests for subdivision and commercial connections as well as operations and maintenance-related projects.
