ALAN  WILSON
ATTORNEY GENERAL


                                           January 19, 2023


      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
