A federal judge approved a 12% water rate hike in Jackson, MS, to avoid system collapse amid financial mismanagement.
A federal judge has approved a 12% water rate increase in Jackson, Mississippi, effective immediately, to prevent the city’s water system from collapsing amid a $1.2 million monthly deficit.
The hike, adding about $10 to the average bill, follows findings of poor billing accuracy, low collections, and mismanagement.
The court ordered reforms including better billing, restored in-person service, and a forensic review of past spending.
Mayor John Horhn accepted the decision to meet a $1.5 million debt payment due March 1, while calling for greater accountability from JXN Water and federal partners.
