10/08/2026

The boil water advisory for Jackson County Water & Sewerage Authority has been lifted. No contaminates were found in the water, so you can resume normal use and there is no need to flush any lines in your home or business.

10/07/2026

The boil water advisory for JCWSA customers remains in effect. We will not get lab testing results until tomorrow so it will remain in effect overnight. Once it is lifted we will post here, ask EMA to send out an alert and text the customers who have given us their phone numbers.
Some of our partering water systems have resumed their purchase of water from us and now have their own boil water advisories.
Please make sure you are following the water system where you are a customer so you can get the most up to date information.

Customers on the Jackson County Water and Sewer Authority system are under a precautionary boil water advisory because of pump failures at the water source. Customers served by this system are advised to boil all water used for drinking, cooking, ice making, and teeth brushing until further notice.
Boiling Instructions: Bring water to a rolling boil for at least one (1) minute and allow it to cool before use. Ice made within the past hour should not be consumed. Water may be used for bathing and washing without boiling.
The Authority is monitoring the water system and will lift or revise this advisory as necessary. The advisory will be lifted after water quality tests confirm the water is safe.

⚠️ BOIL WATER ADVISORY UPDATE ⚠️

The Boil Water Advisory remains in effect while we await water quality testing results.

The area directly impacted by the water issue was very small. However, out of an abundance of caution, the Boil Water Advisory was issued for the surrounding service area to ensure the safety of our customers.

The issue began when a small number of customers reported a loss of water pressure, and discolored water was subsequently identified in the area. Our crews worked throughout the night to isolate the affected area and thoroughly flush the water system to restore water quality.

Water quality samples have been collected, and the advisory will remain in effect until testing confirms that the water is safe for normal use. We will provide an update as soon as test results are received and the advisory can be lifted.

We appreciate our customers’ patience and understanding while our crews work to ensure the safety and quality of your water.

🚨 Help Us Protect Jackson County’s Wastewater System 🚨

Over the past two Monday evenings, JCWSA has observed significant spikes in chemicals entering our wastewater system. These chemicals can disrupt the biological treatment process by harming the beneficial microorganisms that clean wastewater before it is safely returned to the environment. In some cases, we must reseed the treatment process with fresh microorganisms, resulting in additional costs and operational challenges.

We’re asking our community to help us protect this critical infrastructure.

If you see anyone dumping anything into a sanitary sewer manhole, or if you suspect someone is disposing of chemicals, large quantities of floor cleaners, pool water, or any other substances into the sanitary sewer system, please report it to us immediately. Likewise, if you notice suspicious activity involving tanker trucks or anyone using a hose to discharge materials into a sewer manhole, we’d like to know.

Even if you’re not certain an activity is illegal, we’d rather investigate a legitimate concern than miss something that could damage the wastewater treatment process.

📞 JCWSA After-Hours Emergency Number: 706-424-1597

Thank you for helping us protect our wastewater system, our waterways, and our community.
