    Each month, we are committed to providing our staff and the public with updates on our progress toward this year’s goals. By sharing key milestones, we aim to keep you informed and support the continued growth of our agency.

    At the Brunswick-Glynn Joint Water & Sewer Commission, we are committed to continuous improvement, responsible stewardship of public resources, and providing reliable water and wastewater services to our community. Throughout this year, our team is focused on accomplishing a number of strategic initiatives designed to strengthen our infrastructure, enhance operational efficiency, improve customer service, and increase transparency.

    Some of our key objectives for the year include re-establishing dedicated Valve and Hydrant Maintenance Crews within our Water Distribution Division to improve system reliability and emergency response, utilizing available grant funding to eliminate failing septic systems in the Arco area and expand access to reliable wastewater infrastructure, and launching an online financial dashboard that will provide customers with greater transparency into JWSC’s financial performance and the investments being made in our water and wastewater systems.

    These initiatives represent just a portion of the goals our employees are working diligently to achieve. We believe that keeping our customers informed is an important part of earning and maintaining public trust. Below, you can view the progress of our strategic goals through the month of May and follow our accomplishments as we continue working toward another successful year of serving the Brunswick-Glynn community.

  • Smoke Testing Project – Final Update – July 6, 2025

    English and Spanish Versions are Provided Below – A continuación se proporcionan versiones en inglés y español.

    As part of our continued partnership with the Brunswick-Glynn Joint Water and Sewer Commission, McKim & Creed will begin fieldwork for the Smoke and Dye Testing Services Project on Monday, October 27, 2025.


    Como parte de nuestra colaboración continua con la Comisión Conjunta de Agua y Alcantarillado de Brunswick-Glynn, McKim & Creed comenzará los trabajos de campo para el Proyecto de Servicios de Pruebas con Humo y Tinte el lunes 27 de octubre de 2025.


    Distribution of smoke notices began on October 27th, 2025, and smoke testing was started October 28th, 2025. Because of Brantly County forest fires in southwestern Georgia, all field work was temporarily suspended in early May 2026. After the suspension was lifted, field work was completed on May 18th, 2026. Within the basins selected for inspection, 1,069,148 feet of mainline smoke was tested. A total of 1123 defects were located during the smoke testing, and these are summarized below by defect type and area.

    Each smoke defect was reviewed, and a repair recommendation was created. These recommendations were assigned a priority ranking of 1 to 3 based on the following criteria:

    • Priority 1 defects are recommended to be repaired first, and these are typically located in
      locations subject to larger amounts of runoff such as depressions, ditches, area drains or
      stormwater structures.
    • Priority 2 repair recommendations generally include manhole covers in streets, cleanout
      defects in yards, and similar inflow sources.
    • Priority 3 is assigned to smoke defects that are likely to contribute the least amount of
      inflow but still should be considered for repair. These defects may be above grade and
      not subject to runoff during a typical rain event but could still contribute extraneous flows
      through direct rainfall or during extreme events that may cause flooding around the
      defect.

    Please visit our Annual Goals Page to stay informed on the progress of each defect repair.
