Verbatim release:
City of Jackson Launches Self-Service Portal for Water Customers
The City of Jackson will launch the new customer self-service portal on Monday, Aug. 1, providing convenience and useful information to the City’s water customers. The portal allows water customers to pay bills online, view account balances and copies of previous months’ bills, and monitor and track water usage.
Customers can visit https://waterwebcss.jacksonms.gov/OUCSSPortal">https://waterwebcss.jacksonms.gov/OUCSSPortal to set up an account.
Users of the self-service portal will see the same data that is available to the Water Department as they generate monthly bills. Data is available in near real-time and is supplied from the automatic water meter on your property. If customers need more information than what is available on the portal, they can contact the Water Sewer Business Administration at 601-960-2000.
Customers can take simple steps to reduce water consumption and water bills:
Five-minute showers use about 10 gallons of water, or about 75% less water than baths.
Turning off the water while you brush teeth can reduce your water usage to less than 1 gallon, whereas letting the water run for 2 minutes will waste as much as 4 gallons of water.
Watering your lawn uses about 2 gallons per minute; consider how much time you need to water your lawn—and whether the lawn really needs it.
If you wash dishes by hand, you can use as much as 27 gallons of water. Consider scraping dishes first, letting them soak in soapy water before rinsing, and not letting the water run the entire time you’re washing.
