NEW WATERFORD -- The Village of New Waterford is working to fill the water plant supervisor position.
Village Council approved Brandon Gates' resignation during the August regular meeting.
Gates served as the water plant supervisor for nearly seven years before tendering his resignation.
Mayor Shane Patrone said after the meeting that Gates submitted his resignation due to accepting a position with the City of Salem's water department.
"The position is temporarily filled while we work toward training another certified operator," Patrone said.
