JASPER, Tenn. — Marion County commissioners have taken the next step in the creation of a regional wastewater treatment facility.

Commissioners voted unanimously at their February meeting to create the Marion County Wastewater Treatment Authority, which will oversee the daily operation of a regional facility if it ever is built.

Marion County Attorney Billy Gouger said the rate-setting wastewater authority would include delegates from all over the county.
