Jonesborough Water Update as of 10.2.24 - 7:40pm

10/3/2024 - 8:37 AM
The Jonesborough Water Utility crew has restored water to all homes on Highway 107 and the roads off Highway 107, excluding a few homes on the end of Charlie Carson Rd due to flooding. All houses and businesses north from the intersection of 81N and Tittle Circle to HWY 107 have had water restored. There is still no water on HWY 81 south of Tittle Circle, Bumpass Cove Rd. Little Germany Rd due to severe damage to our water infrastructure. We will be looking at the damage in that area and will start working on restoring water as soon as possible.
 
There is a boil water advisory for the next 48 hours. This is a TDEC requirement as a health and safety precaution.
 
What should I do if this Boil 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. For more information, see
