Given the Wilson County/Town of Sims water contract, we would like to pass the following information on to our customers.

Beginning Monday 12/15 through Friday 12/20, Rock Ridge Volunteer Fire Department will be conducting hydrant testing in Wilson County’s Southwest Water District.

Fire hydrant testing may cause temporary inconveniences such as an expected reduction in water pressure and aesthetic issues such as discoloration of the drinking water. Discolored water poses no threat to the public’s health, but can stain laundry and if consumed, may have an unpleasant taste. Residents should be certain that all discolored water is out of their home’s plumbing and hot water heater prior to washing clothes or consuming water. If you notice discolored water coming from your fixtures, please flush the cold water side for approximately 15 minutes.

If you experience continued loss of pressure or water discoloration for longer than 12 hours, please contact our emergency number at 252-265-8017 and leave your address and contact information.

We appreciate your cooperation and apologize in advance for any inconvenience. Thank you for being a Wilson County Water Services Customer.
