The Lost Creek Municipal Utility District will not have to hold a runoff election after one of two candidates for the board that tied for the third and final seat stepped aside Monday.

David Lehtonen opted not to put the MUD through a runoff election and announced that he was stepping aside on Monday night, a representative of the MUD said.

Eric Castro will take the third seat.

The new board members will be installed at the next board meeting today, May 25, at 6:30 p.m. at MUD office, 1305 Quaker Ridge Road.
