The Region : Water District President
An El Monte environmentalist, Anthony R. Fellow, has been unanimously selected to lead the Upper San Gabriel Valley Municipal Water District.
Fellow, elected to the board last November after pledging to fight for a quicker cleanup of severe ground-water pollution problems, was chosen as president last week. He replaces Burton E. Jones, a longtime San Gabriel Valley water official.
Selected as Upper District vice president was H. William Robinson of West Covina, replacing Al Wittig, who in November lost in his reelection bid to the board. Royall Brown of West Covina was elected secretary-treasurer, replacing Robert H. Nicholson, who also lost in November.
Jones last week also lost his position as the board’s representative on the Main San Gabriel Basin Watermaster and the Main San Gabriel Basin Water Quality Authority.
Elected to represent the district on the watermaster board were Brown and Marvin Joe Cichy. Fellow and Robinson were elected to the water authority.
