The Honorable Annie E. McDaniel
Member
South Carolina House of Representatives
P.O. Box 11867
Columbia, SC 29211-1867
Dear Representative McDaniel:
Attorney General Alan Wilson has referred your letter to the Opinions section. Your letter
requests an expedited opinion addressing the following:
I have learned that the Mitford Rural Water District Board of Fairfield and Chester
Counties believes that it, and not our Governor, selects the members of its Board.
My research has turned up this provision in the South Carolina Code of Laws:
SECTION 6-13-630. Creation and membership of Mitford Rural
Water District Board of Fairfield and Chester Counties.
The district shall be operated and managed by a board of directors
to be known as the Mitford Rural Water District Board of Fairfield
and Chester Counties which shall constitute the governing body of
the district. The board shall consist of five resident electors of the
area who shall be appointed by the Governor, upon the
recommendation of a majority of those persons attending a meeting
of residents of the area held pursuant to at least one week's notice in
a local newspaper giving the time and place of the meeting. The
chairman and secretary of the meeting shall certify the names of
those recommended   t he Governor. The original appointments
shall be for a term of two years for two appointees, for four years
