Judge: William H. Singletary
Disposition: The Commission found it had jurisdiction over the parties and the subject matter and ordered the City to cease and desist from serving the contested area until it had ruled on Valley's petition, cautioning the City that continuing with construction would be "without its approval and at the City's own risk and peril." At a second and final hearing, the Commission denied Valley's petition to expand, asserting that doing so would result in the unnecessary and uneconomic duplication of facilities. The Chancery Court of Hinds County affirmed the Commission's order.
