Humphreys County - Subject to local approval, creates the Humphreys County Water Authority. -

HB 1500 creates the Humphreys County Water Authority to manage water and wastewater systems for Humphreys County and surrounding areas. It directly affects Humphreys County residents and three specific cities - Waverly, McEwen, and New Johnsonville - by establishing a new public entity to operate their water infrastructure. The authority will be governed by a five-member board: two appointed by the county executive for unincorporated areas, and one from each city council. This structure allows the authority to plan, build, and operate water systems while enabling future cities to join by adding board seats.
