WATER PRESSURE ADVISORY

Wilson County Water System Maintenance

Wilson County will perform necessary improvements to the water system this coming Wednesday, December 18, 2024, from 9 a.m. through 2 p.m. The Town of Sims is currently on Wilson County’s water system while undergoing our own necessary improvements.  Due to this, Town of Sims customers will experience an interruption of water service including the loss of water pressure during this time. Following the service interruption and once water services have been restored, all customers are advised to boil their water. Please act in accordance with the following guidelines until you’re notified that the low-pressure advisory has been lifted.                                                                                                                                         

 Water System ID NO. 04-98-045

 System Pressure Advisory!

The water consumers of Wilson County’s Southwest Water District, in Wilson County will experience periods of low pressure and outages in the distribution system due to scheduled system maintenance.  Periods of low or no pressure in the distribution system increases the potential for back siphonage and introduction of bacteria into the water system.

Therefore, when water service is restored, consumers are advised to boil all water used for human consumption (including drinking, making ice, brushing teeth, washing dishes and food preparation) or use bottled water.

 Vigorous boiling for one (1) minute should kill any disease-causing organisms that may be present in the water.     

 Water customers are strongly urged to conserve water whenever possible. 

 This advisory will remain in effect until further written notification is issued.
