City of Moss Point under boil water notice

Boil Water Notice

The City of Moss Point is under a city-wide boil water notice after a lightning strike damaged its water treatment plant.

The storms that moved through South Mississippi last night brought with it thunder and lightning, hitting the RMO Plant damaging the plant’s electrical system.

Mayor Billy Knight says the boil water notice is just a precaution to take before use as he expects the notice to be lifted soon. “Somehow lightning struck our water plant and it shorted it out. You know, because it shorted out you know you have to put out a boil water just on the safe side. So, we’re trying to be on the safe side and caution to our people. Our water is still good, but we just want people to boil it just to be on the safe side so that there want be any issues with any of our families.”
