Jan 6, 2025- The Mississippi Supreme Court has denied a petition filed by the City of Holly Springs which sought to require the Mississippi Public Service Commission to deny a show cause hearing, in relation to the Public Service Commission’s investigation into the adequacy of electric service being provided by the Holly Springs Utility Department (HSUD).
The show cause hearing was ordered by the Public Service Commission on Nov. 4, 2024, to allow the City of Holly Springs an opportunity to fully cooperate with independent investigators and show cause as to why the city should not be found in violation for obstructing. Given the order of the Mississippi Supreme Court, the show cause hearing will take place, as originally set on Tuesday, Jan. 7, at 10 a.m. in the Commission hearing room of the Woolfolk State Office Building. Finding a resolution to this long-standing issue and providing representation for all ratepayers of the Holly Springs Utility Department will continue to be a top priority for the Commission.
“The Mississippi Supreme Court’s decision allows us to proceed, and we are fully committed to ensuring that the ratepayers of the Holly Springs Utility District, who have endured unacceptable hardships, receive the reliable service they are entitled to,” said PSC Chairman Chris Brown. “This hearing represents another crucial step in our ongoing efforts to bring relief to the ratepayers and address a system that has been neglected for far too long.”
