 The DeSoto County Wastewater Project began in 1994 when the Corps of Engineers, Memphis District published a study that outlined the need for a county-wide wastewater treatment system.
In response, the DeSoto County Board of Supervisors developed a Wastewater System Master Plan in 1998, which called for the installation of a county-wide sewer system and construction of new wastewater treatment plants.
Soon after, the Mississippi Legislature authorized the creation of the DeSoto County Regional Utility Authority (DCRUA) to oversee the project.
Today, DCRUA is composed of one member from each of the 5 municipalities in the county (Hernando, Horn Lake, Village of Memphis, Olive Branch and Southaven) and two at-large members. Appointments to the Authority are made by the DeSoto County Board of Supervisors. (Please see Contact page for additional information.)
