BETHEL “Our mission is to bring safe drinking water to the residents of Bethel and West Bethel,” water district Chairman Scott Fraser said.
The district meets the third Tuesday of each month at their office in West Bethel on the Flat Road. They meet at 7 p.m. and all of their meetings are open to the public.
Changes
Randy Autrey replaced Brent Angevine on the board of trustees last summer. Autry serves as clerk of the board while Fraser is chairman and Reggie Brown, the board’s longest tenured member, serves as treasurer.
The board hired Eric Belcher to replace Donnie Katlin as an assistant superintendent following Katlin’s retirement from the board in 2019. Katlin had served multiple roles with the water district since joining in 1977. Belcher formerly worked for the Portland Water District and currently resides in Lovell.
