Small victories are upon us! After further investigation and education on the lines, inside city limits is off the boil water notice. HOWEVER, Manar Street and Bay Street will continue to boil water until water samples have been returned to the city.

Unfortunately, we are still under a boil water notice for inside city limits. However, samples will be pulled this morning and we will alert the public as soon as the samples come back clear. We understand what an inconvenience this is and we truly appreciate everyone being respectful during this time.

The City of Purvis is on a precautionary boil water notice. There is a water main break near Bay Street. Public Works is working diligently to have the matter repaired as quickly as possible.
