Council member: city will mail lead‑line notice to water customers
Summary
A council member said the city will mail a notice this week informing water customers that lead service lines exist in parts of the system and that officials currently consider there is no immediate threat to public health.
A council member told the Jackson City Council that the city will begin mailing a notice to water customers about the presence of lead service lines in the system.
The speaker said the mailing will start this week and that the message will make clear the city has lead lines in parts of its water system but that there is "no threat to public health and safety right now." The council member said the mailing is required by higher authorities and that staff will proceed with the notice despite state and federal offices being closed on the next day.
Council members discussed continuity of local government services during the upcoming closure and noted that planned street work should continue because local match funding remains available. The council did not provide further technical details about extent or replacement plans for lead service lines during the meeting.
