Rural Water Association
Mississippians across the state expect to be able to turn on a faucet and have immediate access to clean and safe drinking water. But residents in rural areas often depend on local water associations or personal wells for their water. The MSU Extension Service supports rural water association members through training, technical assistance, and educational materials.
