While the City of Jackson boil-water alert remains in effect, it's important to boil water before consuming it to prevent possible contamination and illness. Remember:
• Only boiled water is safe to consume.
Boil vigorously for one minute and let it cool. Boiled water is safe for drinking, ice, pet water, food preparation, and cleaning dishes.
• Use bottled water to prepare baby formula.
• Water is safe for other uses.
Use water without boiling it for bathing, showers, washing hands with soap, and other uses where it’s not consumed.
Avoid getting water in your mouth when you bathe or shower.
