Letter to the Public:

Note: To the Citizens of Mason Regarding Water and Wastewater

To the citizens of Mason,

The citizens of Mason signed a contract with Alliance Water Resource to take care of our water and wastewater system starting October 16, 2023, for four years. Since then, the Alliance has provided the citizens of Mason with good quality water and water pressure. I know areas may at times have experienced some problems, but we have been working hard to fix them. We have come a long way from where we started.

Since I became mayor, the State of Tennessee has supported the city with grant money to improve our water system. The grant totals 3.5 million dollars. All the work is supposed to be completed by 2026. The citizens will be able to see some difference within the coming months.

Alliance’s decision to cancel the contract with the city was for numerous reasons. The main reason for working with some members of the Board of Alderman. The constant fighting against the mayor and the numerous complaints about their services were unbearable.

I just want to let the public know:
