Bill > HB722

This bill provides a $1,000,000 appropriation from the State General Fund to the Progress Community Water Association in Lamar County, Mississippi, specifically to cover the costs of acquiring and installing an automated water meter system during the fiscal year from July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2026. The bill specifies that the State Treasurer will disburse the funds through warrants issued by the State Fiscal Officer, which will be processed upon proper requisition signatures as required by law. An automated water meter system typically allows for more precise water usage tracking, remote meter reading, and potentially improved billing accuracy. The appropriation is designed to help the water association upgrade its infrastructure and potentially improve service efficiency. The bill will go into effect on July 1, 2025, and is a targeted financial allocation to support local water infrastructure improvements in Lamar County.
