Council names former Mayor Harry W. Reing to regional water authority board
Summary
The Council approved former Mayor Harry W. Reing’s appointment to the representative policy board of the South Central Connecticut Regional Water District (Aquarian Water Authority), praising his experience on water infrastructure and local taxing-district issues; Reing will be sworn in later this week.
The Norwalk City Council on June 23 voted unanimously to appoint former Mayor Harry W. Reing to the representative policy board of the South Central Connecticut Regional Water District (Aquarian Water Authority).
A council member moved the appointment and described the board’s responsibilities as approving major capital projects, setting water rates, and acquiring property. Speakers said Reing’s decades of municipal service — including 12 years as mayor and prior service as police chief — give him relevant experience on water and infrastructure issues. Council members also flagged Aquarian’s recent acquisition of 78 local homes and characterized Reing as an important voice for those residents.
Council President Goldstein announced the motion carried unanimously. Reing was not present at the meeting; council members said he will be sworn in later in the week.
Why it matters: The representative policy board helps set regional water policy and rate matters that affect Norwalk’s residents and the city’s taxing districts. Council remarks emphasized Reing’s familiarity with local water infrastructure and drought-related conservation issues.
What’s next: The city will arrange the swearing-in later in the week; no additional conditions were recorded at the meeting.
