(December 13, 2024 1:52 PM ET) The City of Jackson has issued a Boil Water Advisory for water customers in the Jackson City Limits, and select properties in Summit, Blackman and Leoni townships.

There was recently a malfunction at the Water Treatment Plant that could cause bacteria in the water. This triggered a mandatory advisory from the State of Michigan. Tests of the water supply have not shown any bacteria. However, it’s important for our customers to know what happened. More important information about the advisory is available on the City website.

As a precaution, residents are advised to boil tap water for one minute before using. Boiling kills any potential bacteria. The City of Jackson plans on updating the community on the status of this advisory on Sunday, Dec. 15 when further testing is complete. If customers are unsure if they receive their water from the City of Jackson, a water service coverage map is available on the City website (and below). It’s important to know that not everyone in the Jackson area receives their drinking water from the City, despite having a Jackson address, so residents are asked to reference the coverage map.

More information about the advisory will be posted on the City website, cityofjackson.org. Updates will be sent through the CodeRED system, along with being posted on the City website and social media.
