Board votes 4–1 to return county'run small‑water oversight to the state
After staff warned the Local Primacy Agency is fiscally unsustainable amid rising regulatory demands, the Board of Supervisors voted 4–1 to return oversight of qualifying small water systems to the State Water Resources Control Board.

Lawmakers and farm groups told the Special Committee on Real Issues that House Bill 3076 would remove ambiguous language—specifically the phrase 'water contaminant'—that could be read to subject routine farming activities to Missouri DNR permitting.
