Grenada County; authorize to create the Grenada County Utility Authority.
HB 4000 authorizes Grenada County, Mississippi, to create the Grenada County Utility Authority, a new public entity to manage water and wastewater services for residents. The authority will be governed by a board of directors, build and maintain water/wastewater systems, and finance projects through revenue bonds and special assessments on benefiting properties. It specifically excludes areas within municipal boundaries and allows service providers to contract with the authority. This bill directly affects Grenada County residents and property owners by establishing a dedicated entity for utility infrastructure.
