OSYKA, Miss. (AP) - The grace period was expected to end this week for residents in a small town who are behind on their water bills.
Leaders in Osyka said shut-offs would resume Thursday for delinquent water accounts, Enterprise-Journal reported.
Revenue from water bills is down, Town Clerk Hilda Wall said, and the city recently had to spend $5,000 in emergency funds to fix a broken water line.
The Mississippi Public Service Commission halted disconnections for 60 days on March 15. The decision was made around the same time the governor declared a state of emergency due to the coronavirus pandemic.
