The Mayor announced this morning three nominees for the board of the Pittsburgh Water and Sewer Authority. As we wrote in a Brief last month the Authority has a lot of issues to deal with.
Appointments to the PWSA board have to be confirmed by City Council; in Council’s legislative webpage appointments are separated into “informing” and “requiring vote”. The most recent appointment votes taken by Council for the PWSA board were in 2015, with two appointments made for terms expiring in 2018 and 2020. One of the present nominees announced for a appointment today was actually nominated and confirmed for a seat on the PWSA board in 2014 but was soon replaced by a current member of the board a month later.
The three nominees announced today are to take the seats for three members whose terms, according to Council’s records, expired December 31, 2016. Two other members currently on the board are in seats whose terms expired February 27, 2017, according to the records.
