The Portland Water District has an open seat on the Board of Trustees representing South Portland and Cape Elizabeth. No candidates will be listed on the November 5 ballot for the seat. Because there are no candidates on the ballot, the open seat may be filled by a write-in candidate.
The Portland Water District is governed by a Board of 11 trustees representing the cities and towns it serves. The Board sets important policy and direction to actively protect our water resources and ensure safe and clean public water for over 200,000 people in Greater Portland.
The Board generally meets twice monthly: a workshop session and a regular business meeting. Trustees receive a stipend for meetings attended.
For further information regarding the write-in candidate requirements, please contact the South Portland or Cape Elizabeth Town Clerk or the Portland Water District.
