NASHVILLE – While his legislation on regional and wastewater authorities is going nowhere at the state Capitol, outgoing Chattanooga Mayor Ron Littlefield said it won’t affect the Moccasin Bend Clean Water Authority, which he set up to take control of the city’s sewer and stormwater programs.
“It is not abandoned. It’s moving forward” locally, Littlefield said Tuesday. “We can do what we need to do right now with the law that exists.”
As for the state legislation, Littlefield said “there was nothing in the bill that said anything about taking over any other utility. That seemed to be bothering some.”
