Independent Registered Municipal Advisor Exemption With the voter passage of SPLOST #6 in March of 2016, the Authority once again receives a percentage of the one percent tax and continue to address water needs in Jackson County.Additional Supplemental Appropriations for Disaster Relief Act Call for Projects
SPLOST dollars were used exclusively for large water projects including transmission lines, large mains, water towers and pumping stations. In the past, the JCWSA did receive a percentage of the Special Local Option Sales Tax (SPLOST) dollars from Jackson County. However, the Authority is not a taxing entity and therefore operates as an enterprise, meaning it operates solely off of the revenues from water and sewer billings and fees. The JCWSA operates as an independent political subdivision of the state, similar to counties and cities in Georgia. An Authority member can not be reappointed after 3 consecutive terms without at least one year of inactive status. Members serve staggered 3-year terms without compensation for a period not to exceed 9 consecutive years. The JCWSA is governed by a 5-member Board, each of whom must reside in Jackson County, and each is appointed by the Board of Commissioners of Jackson County. The JCWSA was created as a political subdivision of the State of Georgia by an act of the Georgia General Assembly in 1986 to facilitate providing water and sewer service to citizens of Jackson County.
