NIOTA-It's been another year of adjusting to Mother Nature and ever increasing state and federal mandates, Sweetwater Utilities Board General Manager Robert Bettis said.

Bettis made his remarks during SUB's annual joint meeting with the Sweetwater Mayor and Board of Commissioners.

Bettis said the first week of July was the worst week SUB has had for storm damage in his tenure.
