Authority) shall consist of a Commission composed of nine
members who must be appointed by the Governor upon the
recommendation of the legislative delegation of the county from
which the member must be appointed. For all other matters
respecting the Authority, the legislative delegations of

and Senators representing any portion of a county whose
districts also include all or any part of the territory of the
Western Carolina Sewer Authority. All members of the Commission
must be residents of the counties comprising the Western
Carolina Regional Sewer Authority and of the territory of the
Authority and shall serve at large. One member must be from
Anderson County and one member must be from Laurens County.
Seven members must be from Greenville County. The Anderson and
Laurens County Delegations shall recommend for appointment to
the Governor two additional members so as to complete the
Commission of nine members. One member must be appointed for a
term expiring in December, 1985, and one member for a term
expiring in December, 1986, with the respective terms designated
in the appointments. Notwithstanding any other
provision of law, the governing body of Renewable Water
Resources (ReWa), formerly designated the Greenville County
Sewer Authority and subsequently redesignated the Western
Carolina Regional Sewer Authority, shall consist of a commission
composed of ten members who must be appointed by the Governor
upon the recommendation of the legislative delegation of the
county from which the member must be appointed. For all other
matters respecting ReWa, the legislative delegations of
Greenville, Anderson, Laurens, and Spartanburg Counties shall
act as one entity. A legislative delegation consists of all
House members and Senators representing any portion of a county
whose districts also include all or any part of the territory of
Renewable Water Resources. All members of the commission must
be residents of the counties from which they are appointed and
also must be residents of ReWa's territory within their
respective counties. All members shall serve at-large. One
member must be from Anderson County, one member from Laurens
County, and one member from Spartanburg County. Seven members
must be from Greenville County. The Anderson and Laurens County
Delegations shall each recommend one member for appointment to
the Governor. The initial terms of the members from Anderson
County and Laurens County must be designated in the original
appointments. The Spartanburg County Delegation shall recommend
for appointment to the Governor one additional member of the
Commission to be from Spartanburg County. The Spartanburg
County Council shall submit to the delegation a nomination for
the person to be recommended. The delegation may accept this
nomination or may request additional nominations. The initial
term of the member from Spartanburg County shall expire on
December 1, 2022, and thereafter his successors shall be
appointed in the same manner of original appointment for terms
of four years each and until their successors are appointed and
qualify." /
