PUBLIC WORKS BOIL WATER NOTICE - OCTOBER 20, 2024 - 4:50 P.M.
This morning around 7:30 AM, the City of Jarrell received several reports of low water pressure (15-20 psi) from residents on the following streets:
- Man O War Drive
- Seabiscuit Drive
- Citation Drive
- Affirmed Way
- Seattle Slew Drive
Jarrell-Schwertner Water Supply Corporation (JSWSC) identified and repaired a main break in their system, restoring water to most areas. However, pressure remained low at Calumet, around 10 psi. Crews extended their search area and opened two valves at FM 487/CR 306, which were previously closed.
City staff, along with Crossroads, have been on site assisting. It is important to note that the issue is not in a city-owned water line. Pressure has now been fully restored. We will be sending water samples to the lab, and we expect to lift the boil water notice by Tuesday morning.
Thank you for your patience!

The City of Jarrell and Tornado Sirens
Stay informed. Stay prepared.
Williamson County sits in the most south part of what is known as “Tornado Alley”. This community has suffered through a direct hit from an F5 tornado in 1997, as well as several minor tornadoes and straight-line wind events in recent years.
While Tornados sirens are a good tool, Tornado sirens are intended to be heard by people who are outdoors and within earshot of the siren. Tornado sirens are not designed to alert people who are indoors, people outdoors wearing headphones or ear pods enjoying music or even in windy environments.
