Jackson County to create community partner recognition for water treatment providers
Summary
At its July 28 work session the Jackson County Board of Commissioners agreed to work with Dr. Mann to develop a "community partner recognition" honoring local water treatment providers that perform gratis public-health sampling.
The Jackson County Board of Commissioners agreed at a July 28, 2026 work session to develop a community recognition for local water treatment providers that have been conducting free sampling to support public-health monitoring.
A staff member said the practice is unpaid: "They're just doing it for the the public health," and recommended working with Dr. Mann, who had previously raised the nomination, to craft a formal recognition. Commissioners suggested possible titles — including "community partner recognition" or "community partner appreciation" (joked acronyms included "CPR" or "CPA") — and asked staff to coordinate the logistics and invite the providers to a future meeting.
The discussion noted the sampling is performed gratis by both local water treatment providers and is not a mandated public-health monitoring duty. Staff confirmed there is no current county conflict with similar grant-funded programs and will return to the board with proposed wording and an event plan.
The board did not take a formal vote on the recognition at the session; next steps are for staff to draft language with Dr. Mann and schedule the recognition appearance.
