A Facebook post says a precautionary boil-water notice instituted on Jan. 29, 2026, has been lifted effective immediately for the referenced areas shown in the post. The post directed residents in those areas to follow recommended steps from the Mississippi Department of Health.
Boil-water notices are typically issued when water system integrity is uncertain after events such as main breaks, pressure loss or treatment interruptions. They are intended to protect public health by advising people to treat tap water before drinking or using it for food preparation until testing confirms safety.
The lifting of a notice usually indicates that officials believe the immediate risk has passed, but health authorities often recommend additional actions for residents, such as following guidance to flush household plumbing and follow any disinfecting instructions. The Facebook post referenced the Mississippi Department of Health for those steps.
Residents in the affected areas should monitor official channels from their local utility and the Mississippi Department of Health for any further instructions. We will provide more information as it becomes available.
