IMPORTANT UPDATE – Boil Water Notice Lifted – Water is Now Safe; Please Continue Conserving

BOIL WATER NOTICE LIFTED

Jonestown

29 January 2026 3:00 PM

We are pleased to announce that the Boil Water Notice issued on 27 January 2026 around 5:00pm for members in JWSC service area has been officially lifted as of 2:00PM on January 29, 2026.

The water is now safe for all uses, including drinking, cooking, making ice, brushing teeth, washing dishes/food, and preparing baby formula. Laboratory testing has confirmed that the water meets all state and federal drinking water quality standards.

This lift follows successful repairs to the raw water line water main, restoration of system pressure and satisfactory test results from certified labs.

What You Should Do Now:

• You no longer need to boil tap wateror use bottled water for consumption.
• Throw out any ice and Flush ice makers, water filters, and any appliances connected to the water line as needed.

Please Continue to Conserve Water

While the immediate emergency has passed, we kindly ask residents to maintain voluntary water conservation efforts through to Friday mid-day to allow for any flushing that may be necessary due to air. Recent repairs and system flushing can temporarily affect pressure and supply stability, and conserving helps ensure reliable service for everyone.

Easy ways to keep conserving:

• Take shorter showers (aim for 5 minutes or less).
• Run dishwashers and washing machines only when full. (I’m sure this won’t be a problem as they have been stacking up) lol!
• Turn off faucets while brushing teeth, shaving, or washing produce.
• Fix leaks right away (a dripping faucet can waste hundreds of gallons).
• Limit non-essential outdoor watering.

Your continued cooperation helps protect our shared water resources and prevents future advisories—thank you! Continue to recommend to neighbors to sign up for alerts!!
