Tuesday Winter Storm Update

​

Black Bayou Water Association is continuing to provide safe and reliable drinking water to our members.

​

At this time, most—but not all—of our facilities have been restored to utility power.

​

To help maintain service and manage system demand, Black Bayou Water Association will be connecting different parts of the water system together to better distribute load and ensure continued operation.

The water remains safe to drink. Some members may notice discoloration due to changes in water flow and the use of different source wells than they are used to.

​

As temperatures rise above freezing, water demand on the system is increasing. This increase is primarily due to:

• Leaks on the customer side of water meters caused by freeze damage

• Faucets being left running at higher flows instead of dripping

​

We strongly encourage all members to:

• Check for leaks around homes, buildings, and service lines

• Turn off the meter immediately if a leak is found

• Drip faucets only, rather than running them fully, to help conserve water and reduce strain on the system

​

We appreciate your cooperation and patience as efforts continue.

Winter Storm Update

​

Black Bayou Water Association wants to inform our members that some of our sites are currently operating on backup generators. We have ample fuel reserves available, and our system is running as expected. Everything is okay, and we continue to provide safe, reliable drinking water to our members.

​

As freezing temperatures continue, we ask for your cooperation in conserving water:

• Please drip faucets only to prevent pipes from freezing

• Do not leave faucets running full blast, as this puts unnecessary strain on the system

• As temperatures get above freezing, please remember to check for leaks, and turn off meters as soon as any leaks are located

​

Your help allows us to maintain steady service for the entire community during this weather event.

​

As road conditions continue to be poor, our office will remain closed until further notice; however, you can still reach us at 662-686-7150 if you have any questions or concerns.

​

Thank you for your cooperation and patience. Stay safe.

Winter Storm Preparedness

​

Black Bayou Water Association would like to inform our customers that we are prepared for the upcoming winter storm.

​

Our water system is equipped with backup generators and sufficient fuel reserves to ensure continued operation in the event of power outages. We are confident in our ability to maintain safe and reliable drinking water service throughout the storm; however, unforeseen circumstances may happen. Our crews will be on standby to monitor and make any necessary repairs, as quickly as possible.

​

To help protect the system and ensure water pressure for all customers, we ask that you conserve water during freezing temperatures. Please remember:

• Drip faucets only to prevent pipes from freezing

• Do not leave faucets fully running, as this can strain the system

​

Your cooperation helps us serve the entire community safely and effectively during extreme weather conditions.

​

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact our office directly at 662-686-7150.

​

Thank you for your cooperation and stay safe.
