There was an electrical issue which caused a small fire in one of the major plant components. This required the plant to be shut down to prevent further damage. Lately, we have been experiencing issues with the power feed to the plant. Currently, it appears that the outage will not be extensive and we are hoping service will be restored by the end of the day. An electrical contractor is on site making repairs and investigating the cause of the fire. Due to the loss in water pressure, the City of Jackson Water/Sewer Utilities Division has issued a precautionary boil water advisory until further notice for the following area:
ALL SURFACE WATER CONNECTIONS
This notice does not affect the Jackson-Maddox Road Well Customers
