Six residents have been elected to the Clear Creek Watershed Authority board of directors, and three other candidates are tied for the final position.

Lee Goodman, Larry Klein and Fred Stevens remained locked at 140 votes Saturday night with 30 provisional ballots left to review in the first election in the authority’s history. Official results won’t be available until next week, said Julie Fort, the authority’s attorney.

Claire Fortenberry O’Berry, Edwin Knight, Bo Crossen, Walter Knight, Phil Hancock and Craig Waggoner were elected to the board over nine other candidates.
