Think you might have a water leak? Before, going to the meter make sure all sources of water are turned off. Sources of water could include: faucets, shower heads, running toilets, washing machines, diswashers, sprinklers and spigots. Then, go to the meter. Remove the box lid there is an endpoint connected to the lid. The endpoint has a wire that runs to the meter make sure you are careful not to damage the wire You can lay the lid to the side carefully. There maybe water or dirt in the box remove enough to expose the top of the meter. Open the protective cover on the meter If it is dirty wipe the surface gently to expose the digital screen. There are a few displays so if you are not seeing the reading screen which will have multiple numbers followed by a decimal point and 2 more number close the lid for a few seconds and open it again. Once you are at the reading screen you will watch to see if the numbers are changing. After several seconds of watching if the numbers have changed you have a leak on your side. Our Water License only covers us from the main to the water meter anything past the meter requires a plumber.

Membership Increase
October 03, 2025
A unique aspect of a WSC is that it is member-owned and member-controlled. Paying the membership fee makes a person a member, which provides them with voting rights in the corporation. This is crucial because WSCs typically serve rural communities with a small customer base, and unexpected issues can cause financial strain. For new customers seeking service, a WSC may require a combination of a membership fee, a "tap fee" for the physical connection, and sometimes an "equity buy-in" fee. The membership and equity fees help finance the capital costs of expanding the system to serve new areas.
It is outlined in Article X section 3 of the By-Laws for Jackson Water Supply Corporation states the Membership fee may be revised by the Board of Directors as the Board may determine to be appropriate.
In determining the amount of the membership fee, however, the Board shall ensure that the fee is sufficient to establish the potential Member as being legitimately interested in securing water service from the Corporation for such potential Members’ own needs. Furthermore, the Board shall determine and administer such fee in a manner or at an amount which does not unreasonable deny service to financially deprived potential Members. In no event, however, shall the membership fee exceed an amount equal to the sum of twelve (12) charges of the Corporation’s minimum monthly water rate unless previously approved by the USDA Rural Development, (RUS). Membership fees will be refundable.
After the board meeting August 25, 2025. By a vote of 5-1 in favor of a membership increase. The Board of Directors has voted to increase the membership fee from $100 to $300. This of course will continue to be a refundable amount in the event the member wishes to close their account. This increase in cost does not affect existing members who are not seeking additional meters.
The increase in Membership dues will go into effect November 5, 2025.
Thank you,
