Steve Elie, a partner in Musick Peeler's Environmental & Public Law practice, was recently elected as a Director of the Inland Empire Utilities Agency representing most of Chino, Chino Hills, and portions of Ontario.

The mission of the IEUA is to supply imported and recycled water; collect, treat, and dispose of wastewater; and provide other utility-related (renewable electrical energy, compost) services to the communities it serves. The Agency strives to provide these services in a regionally planned, managed, and cost-effective manner.

Mr. Elie will assume office in January of 2011.
