The Pecos County Water Control and Improvement District No. 1 canvassed votes from the May 7 election and swore in two new Board of Directors on May 10.

Garry Edwards and Tyler Young are the new board members and will serve four-year terms after receiving the most votes out of the five candidates running for the two seats.

Edwards received 23 votes and Young received 22 votes.

Pete Galvan had 19 votes, Colby Terrazas received 14, and Bruce Moore had nine.

“We look forward to benefitting from their knowledge of our community and the experience that they bring to the board,” district board member Rosalie Sullivan said.

The district honored Refugio “Cuco” Rangel for his than 25-plus years of service as general manager and board member.

“His vast first-hand knowledge of the district and his knowledge about state water laws has provided much information to the board. We sincerely thank him and wish him well in his new endeavors,” Sullivan added.

PCWCID No. 1 board meetings are held on the second Tuesday of each month.  Notice of board agenda and minutes from previous meetings are available on the website. We encourage everyone to come the meeting to learn of the issues our district is working on.
