Senate Bill 683 amends the law to increase from seven to nine the number of directors on the board of the Gulf Coast Water Authority. The bill requires one of the additional directors to be appointed by the Commissioners Court of Fort Bend County and the other by the Commissioners Court of Brazoria County and requires each of those directors to represent authority customers in the appointing county. The directors must be recommended by such customers and reside in the county. The bill requires a vacancy on the board to be filled by appointment by the commissioners court that appointed the director.
In addition, the bill specifies that the Mainland Municipal Advisory Committee is composed of one representative of each municipal or water district customer of the authority that contracts for, rather than uses, not less than two million gallons of water a day.
