KCUD: waterline substantially complete; REDLG financing documents on track for February review
Summary
Engineering Plus reported the new waterline is substantially complete and Bac‑T testing passed; legal counsel said REDLG document drafts need USDA, EMEPA and county approvals with EMEPA review targeted Feb. 13, 2026 and closing expected late February or early March 2026.
Richmond Alexander of Engineering Plus told the Kemper County Utility District board on Dec. 17 that the waterline project was "substantially complete" and that Bac‑T testing had been performed and passed, marking a construction milestone for the District's water system.
Kate Davis of Glover, Young, Hammack, Walton & Simmons, PLLC, reported that drafts of Rural Economic Development Loan and Grant (REDLG) documents are being prepared and will require approvals by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), the Economic Mississippi Electric Power Association (EMEPA), and Kemper County. "EMEPA's goal is for the documents to be presented for approval at its regular meeting on February 13, 2026, with a closing at the end of February 2026 or early March 2026," the minutes state.
The board took no final financing action during the Dec. 17 meeting; Davis and Alexander provided status updates and a timeline. Chair Susan Morgan asked commissioners to review materials ahead of January meetings so the board can act on required approvals during the upcoming schedule.
If approvals proceed on the stated timeline, the REDLG closing would enable the District to finalize loan/grant financing tied to the recently completed waterline.
