State Representative Trey Rhodes (R-Greensboro), chairman of the House Committee on Game, Fish & Parks, has been appointed by Speaker Jon Burns (R-Newington) to lead the House Study Committee on Private Water Systems.
“I would like to thank Speaker Burns for appointing me to lead this important study committee this year to study our state’s private water systems and services,” said Chairman Rhodes. “These private water systems play a vital role in many rural Georgia communities, and we want to ensure that our constituents who are serviced by private water systems are being given fair rates and fees.”
The House Study Committee on Private Water Systems was established following the adoption of House Resolution 1498 during the 2024 legislative session. This study committee will carefully evaluate all aspects of the operation of private water systems in Georgia and may make recommendations for proposed legislation ahead of the 2025 legislative session.
Speaker Burns also appointed several other members to the study committee: State Representatives Robert Dickey (R-Musella), Lynn Smith (R-Newnan), Debbie Buckner (D-Junction City), Bill Hitchens (R-Rincon), Beth Camp (R-Concord), and Jason Ridley (R-Chatsworth). Additionally, Mr. Jason Shaw, Public Service Commissioner, will serve as the non-legislative member.
