  • Public Emergency Notification System is Now Available

    The BGJWSC has begun using a Public Emergency Notification System for immediate mass communications of emergency information.

    Effective at 8:00 am on Thursday, June 22, 2017, all boil water advisory alerts, unexpected road closures and unplanned service outages will be communicated to subscribers using this emergency notification system. This system, produced by Everbridge, Inc., will allow the public to set up multiple means of communication, including text, land-line phone message, cell phone message and email. If we fail to reach you using one method, the system will automatically roll over to the next method until you confirm receipt of the message. A brief introduction of this system is available in the orientation video below:

    Existing customers that have provided an email address will receive an email to confirm their preferences for the service once their data has been put into the system. However, please feel free to register now, if you wish, as this data migration may take some time.

    Those of you that have previously received emergency notifications via email from our online subscription service will find that system will be phased out by the end of August, 2017 at which time all emergency notifications will be sent out via this Public Emergency Notification System. All non-emergency notifications will continue to be sent via the website email system, as outlined on the Subscribe to Updates page on our website.

    I’m standing by to assist if you have any questions on how to make the transition or if you have questions about how to register for the new Public Emergency Notification System.

    Sincerely,

    Jay Sellers, Public Information Officer

  • Emergency Detour – Emory Dawson Rd at Altama Ave – April 6, 2017

    Emergency Detour to Access the Exchange Club of Brunswick Fairgrounds

    Update posted Friday, April 7th at 8:36 am: Our crews are on site today making an effort to resolve the issues by 5:00 pm today.

    Due to an emergency sanitary sewer repair underway at the corner of Altama Ave and Emory Dawson Rd, all traffic en route to the fairgrounds or otherwise traveling on Altama Ave should be prepared to take another route to avoid delays.

    Though the section of Emory Dawson between Altama Ave and the rear entrance of TitleMax Title Pawn is going to be blocked, those traveling to the fairgrounds can use the Coral Park Drive access road off of Cypress Mill Rd, adjacent to Fancy Q Restaurant and Bank of the Ozarks, across from Wake Up Coffee. Congestion is likely to build at the Altama Ave entrance to Cypress Mill Square for those attempting to access the fairgrounds via the Winn-Dixie shopping center.

    Repairs will continue today until the detour has been removed.

  • Emergency Lane Closure in Frederica/Demere Roundabout – Wednesday, March 8, 2017

    Update as of 5:15 pm: Thanks to all for your patience during our construction. The main break was repaired under pressure, helping keep services maintained through the busiest part of the day.

    As of 9:45 am on Wednesday, March 8, 2017, an emergency lane closure is necessary in the roundabout at the intersection of Frederica Rd and Demere Rd on St. Simons Island. This morning, a citizen alerted us to water running down the street and a preliminary inspection indicated that a crew will need to excavate in the area to determine the source of the leak. At this time, we are unable to confirm whether or not service will be affected.

    For the safety of our crews, the outside lane of the roundabout will be unavailable, likely in the section adjacent to Southern Soul Barbecue’s front parking spots. Please expect delays and make every effort to take another route, if possible.

    The BGJWSC apologizes in advance for the inconvenience.
