Mayor On Water
SUMMARY: The city of Jackson is facing a federal takeover of its water system, with a third-party administrator having final say on rates and bill collection. The mayor is hoping for input from others on the newly proposed water billing program, set to start next year. The EPA takeover, approved by a federal judge, puts the process of setting rates and collecting bills in the hands of the third-party administrator, Ted Henifin. The mayor is fielding questions about the takeover and the new billing program, but is not prepared to provide details about recourse for the administrator.
