Water Utility Update

October 7, 2024 6:55 PM
There is a boil water advisory for the next 48 hours for the following areas: Highway 81 South from Tittle Circle to Bumpus Cove Road, Robert Love Road, School House Road, and James Ammons Road.This is a TDEC requirement as a health and safety precaution.
What should I do if this Boil Water Alert applies to me?
DO NOT DRINK THE WATER WITHOUT BOILING IT FIRST. Bring all water to a boil, let it boil for three (3) minutes, and let it cool before using, or use bottled water. Boiled or bottled water should be used for drinking, making ice, brushing teeth, washing dishes, and food preparation until further notice. Tap water is safe for bathing and showering but try to avoid getting it in your mouth.
If there are any concerns please contact our office at 423-753-1005.

Jonesborough Water Department Letter of Thanks

The devastation that has occurred has not only reminded us how blessed we are, but how great of a community we serve. It has continued to bring out the best in people and show why we are the Volunteer State. Our community has gone above and beyond to not only help those in need during this trying time, but to also help take care of our utility staff, first responders and fellow volunteers. Whether it be a hot meal, supplies or even just a kind word. That is why we at the Jonesborough Water Department would like to thank not only our great community, but the gracious and wonderful people who brought us hot meals, snacks, drinks, or just checked to see if we needed anything or even volunteered to help. Simple things like conserving water, understanding and patience helped to get water restored in a timely manner. We at Jonesborough Water Quality, Water Distribution, Waste/Water, and Water Treatment Plant would like to give special thanks to the people who provided those working around the clock with meals.
