Settling tank with a circulation system will solve the problem, until pipes can be replaced, no filters required. 20 year engineer.

Let’s not forget the leaks happening at the OLD jay gas plant no one wants to talk about. Come on Jay, FL we can do better then this to keep up with this cute country town and to be a place we are proud of and not a place that keeps hazardous and health concerns hidden and not taken care of. Leadership just needs to step in and say , “let’s do the right thing”.

Raise the taxes a little and make some moderate to serious infrastructure upgrades to Jay and the surrounding areas. The north end of both Escambia and Santa Rosa counties have some very noticeable problems that include City buildings and housing standards that are in much need of addressing.

This has been an ongoing issue for quite some time. Filters don’t even work because they have to be replaced so frequently. It is disgusting! I would like to see the major drink a glass if it supposedly safe to drink. They should provide water for consumption to all residents until this issue is corrected.

It looks to me like the mayor is on top of things. The dirty water here has been an on-going issue for a long time and no one has done anything about it till now. Great job Shon!

The Rural Water system that I work for uses PVC, CPVC and yellow mite plastic pipes.Only time we get discolored water is when we get a break or pipe repair. The sediment will be forced down line. That is why we have plenty of flushouts installed to flush out the sediment. Systems with metal or cast iron pipe will get rust as the pipes are rusting away They will need flushed more often and too fast a flush will cause the water color in your pipes. Eventually the cast iron pipes will need replaced. That is part of the deteriorating infrastructure that is being talked about in Washington. If you are in doubt of your drinking water… boil. filter( commercial or thru a coffee filter) or buy bottled water.

Someone needs to call Erin Brockovich. Let her do some investigating. We need to find out why poisons are in our water. Why is it that when we fill out medical paperwork one of the question is do you live in Jay? Also there is a higher rate of cancer in Jay. I do not drink the water myself. It is to dangerous.

The saying used to apply to foreign countries “Don’t drink the water” and now if you visit Jay the same saying applies…

No one should pay for water that nasty! Hopefully citizens will get some kind of credit on their bills.

That’s terrible to say this meets standards.
