Interview Video Series
This series of videos is from interviews with two JCUA Board of Director members - Mr. Andrew Elly (Moss Point) and Mr. Jerry Munro (Ocean Springs). Listen what they have to say about the need for the new water reclamation facility. A special thank you to Mr. Elly for agreeing to sit for his interview on Ash Wednesday.
Drivers for the New Facility
Our current facilities are out of date and "tapped out". We need room to grow. The proposed plant will serve the entire community and provide room to add more capacity and treat more gallons of water per day.
Protecting Community Health
Our primary goal is to keep the water clean so that people can know that they have an environmentally safe place to live and raise a family.
Hurricane Katrina
Hurricane Katrina destroyed all the inner workings of the pumps and pipelines in our plants. We learned a lot of lessons from that.
Environmental Protection
Learn about the clarifier and filtering steps where solid material generated during aeration is separated and the clean water is filtered.
