2. How and where can I be tested for the Corona Virus?

Right now, the recommended procedure for any individual that believes he or she is at risk is to first call your primary physician.  Based on your exposure and symptoms, they will advise you on the best course of action, and help you find how and where to get tested if symptoms and circumstances warrant.  

Testing is available locally at various locations – the criteria for testing are different at each location.  For more information visit  Jupiter Testing site, Palm Beach County Testing Sites and Martin County Testing Sites.

3. Will the water supply be affected or interrupted?

No.  Although many consumers are choosing to stock up on bottled water, that is not an indication that the water supply is or will be affected; that is simply their choice.   Jupiter’s water supply will continue to be provided at the high level of quality that it always has.  

All possible precautions are being taken to protect the health of our customers as well as our employees. Relative to our product, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) has noted that the COVID virus has not been detected in drinking water. Additionally, the Jupiter Water System utilizes advanced water treatment technologies and disinfection processes which are highly effective in the removal and inactivation of viruses such as COVID-19.
