DIAMONDHEAD, Miss. (WLOX) - When Diamondhead residents head to the polls in June, a referendum will appear on ballots and it is sparking debate in the small community.
Voters will decide if the city should consolidate the Diamondhead Fire District and the Diamondhead Water and Sewerage District into the operations of the city.
Some city leaders believe consolidating will cut costs. Mayor Nancy Depreo stressed that this isn’t a new idea, and that it has been discussed before.
