Bolivar County; authorize to create utility district to own, control, operate and maintain Choctaw Sewer Association system.
SB 3268 authorizes Bolivar County to create a new utility district specifically for the Choctaw Sewer Association system in the community of Choctaw. This district would become the sole owner and operator of the sewer system, replacing the existing association, and would be governed by a board of 3-5 commissioners appointed by the county board of supervisors. Key provisions include transferring county-owned sewer assets to the district, exempting it from certain regulatory approvals, and allowing the district to partner with local water associations to disconnect water service for customers with 60+ days of unpaid sewer fees. The bill directly affects Choctaw residents who use the sewer system, aiming to address its "continual disrepair" through dedicated management.
