Bragg selected as new Weirton water director

WEIRTON – A familiar face is set to take the helm of Weirton’s water system. Rocky Bragg, currently a member of the Weirton Area Water Board and a previous employee, was approved by the board Thursday to take on the role of Weirton water director. Full details of the employment agreement were not discussed openly Thursday, although the advertisement for the water director position noted a salary of between $85,000 and $95,000. Prior to their approval, members of the board – with Bragg recusing himself from the discussion – were presented with copies of the employment agreement, as well as the employee handbook and social media policy. “This was negotiated between me, Rocky and his counsel,” explained Dan Guida, legal counsel for the Water Board, prior to Thursday’s vote. The director position became vacant following the recent retirement of Utilities Director A.D. “Butch” Mastrantoni, who oversaw both water and sanitary operations.
