City Council Approves Agreement for Nesbitt Water Association to Collect Sewer Bills

In a recent meeting of the Southaven Mayor and Board of Aldermen, city officials discussed a significant agreement aimed at improving sewer bill collection in collaboration with the Nesbitt Water Association. The proposal, presented by a board member, seeks authorization for the mayor to sign an agreement that would allow Nesbitt Water to handle the collection of sewer bills in designated areas.

This initiative is particularly noteworthy as it addresses ongoing challenges related to sewer billing processes. By partnering with Nesbitt Water, the city aims to streamline operations and enhance efficiency, especially since the city will not be responsible for water services in these areas. The collaboration is expected to alleviate some of the administrative burdens currently faced by the city.

The proposal received backing from key figures, including Ray Humphrey and Dan Cordell, who have been actively working with Nesbitt Water and their engineers to finalize the agreement. The motion to approve the agreement was made and seconded, indicating strong support among board members.

This development is part of Southaven's broader efforts to improve municipal services and ensure effective management of resources. As the agreement awaits official approval from the Public Service Commission (PSC), it represents a proactive step towards enhancing service delivery for residents in the affected areas. The outcome of this collaboration could set a precedent for future partnerships aimed at improving city services.
