City of Jackson-JXN Water (0250008) has issued a Boil-Water Alert for customers who receive their drinking water from their water supply located in Hinds County.
When a distribution system loses pressure, contaminants can siphon back into the water. Public health officials consider any system that loses pressure contaminated until tests prove otherwise. Health officials strongly recommend that all water be boiled vigorously for one minute before it is consumed.

DO NOT
- Do not drink tap water while the water system is under a boil water advisory.

DO
- Wash your dishes in boiled water or use paper plates for the next few days.
- Wash your fruits and vegetables with boiled or bottled water since they may have been exposed to affected water from grocery store sprayers.
