permission from the Public Service Commission to provide an area of
Harrison County, northwest of the City of D’Iberville, water and sewer
service. The need to provide this infrastructure to the area was brought
about by several developers who are planning housing and retail
development in the approximately 4.4 square miles, in addition to
D’Iberville’s new high school which is being built in the area. Several
developers approached the City of D’Iberville, according to City Manager
Richard Rose, because the city was closer and more able to provide the
water and sewer services needed. The city has a temporary certificate of
permission. Permanent permission to provide and manage water and sewer to
the area will be given to the city that successfully annexes the area.
