One would have to search widely to find a comparable position of responsibility. Created in 1948 by the City Board to operate the electric system, the Board was given the additional responsibility of operating the water and wastewater systems in 1959. The Board operates under the authority of a 1935 state law found in TCA chapter 52, which specifically defines the requirements and responsibilities. The law allows the Board to be made up of either three or five members at the discretion of the City Board. Originally set at three members, in 1979 two additional seats were added.
