The Board of Commissioners of the Perryville Utility District of Decatur County will convene its regular quarterly meeting on Monday, November 10, 2025 at 6:00 p.m. The meeting will be held at the Perryville Utility District office at 1249 Perryville Road in Parsons, according to a public notice published in The News Leader on November 5, 2025.
The Perryville Utility District is the local governing body responsible for managing water and sewer services within its service area. Quarterly meetings are the scheduled public forums where commissioners review operations, budgets and capital projects, and where community members can receive updates about service performance and planned work. The public notice directs interested parties to contact the district for more information and for the full notice is available on the News Leader public notice feed.
For Decatur County residents the meeting matters because utility boards make decisions that directly affect daily life. Topics commonly addressed at these sessions include system maintenance, upgrades to pipes and treatment facilities, rate structures, and emergency response planning. Decisions made by the commissioners determine how resources are allocated and can influence the timing of repairs, the scope of infrastructure investments and long term costs for customers.
Local farmers, business owners and homeowners rely on timely maintenance and clear communication from the utility when storms or other events threaten service. Quarterly meetings provide a chance for those stakeholders to hear current reports, to ask about planned projects in their area and to bring concerns to the attention of the board. The notice suggests residents who wish to follow the agenda or participate should contact the district for details on agenda items and any procedures for public comment.
This meeting is part of the districts regular governance cycle. Regular public meetings help ensure transparency and accountability in how local utilities are run, and they give residents a predictable opportunity to engage with elected or appointed commissioners. Those unable to attend can follow up with the Perryville Utility District office for summaries, meeting minutes and information on future meetings.
