‼️Announcement: Boil Water Advisory‼️

Date Issued: 09/7/2026
Time Issued: 3:00 AM

A boil water advisory has been issued on 09/7/2026 for the City of McKee Water customers due to a line repair on Jackson County High School Rd in the following areas:

Beginning on Jackson Co High School Rd on the Deer View side to 314 JCHS Rd, and includes City of McKee water customers on Bradshaw Hills Rd.

Following such an event, the potential exists for bacteriological contamination of the water supply; therefore this boil water advisory has been issued as a precautionary measure.

Until further notice, boil all water used for drinking and cooking by bringing the water to a rolling boil for three minutes before using.
This advisory will remain in effect until test results do show the water to be acceptable quality. Consumers should flush their own plumbing when service is restored. A separate notice will be issued when the advisory is lifted.

If you have any questions, please contact City Hall, Monday-Friday, between 8:00 AM - 4:00 PM at 606-287-8305.

‼️Attention City of McKee Water Customers‼️

We have implemented new billing software! Your bill will now look a little different. Below is an example of this month's bill. There may be a few tweaks to how the bill looks as we perfect our process, but this is the general concept of how they'll look going forward.

Please note that your account number has changes, but you can still use your old customer account number for now.

In the coming month's we will be mailing out instructions on how to set up your customer portal in the new system so that you can view details about your bill online, and we will be transferring to a new online payment system.

We appreciate everyone's patience with us through this process, and please feel free to contact our office with any questions you may have.

Watch as creative, gravity-powered machines race downhill with nothing but imagination, courage, and gravity pushing them toward the finish line! These homemade racers can be funny, flashy, fast, or completely outrageous—and that is what makes the Soapbox Derby so much fun.

Racers age 16 and older are invited to build their own gravity-powered creation and compete for bragging rights. Vehicles must have at least three wheels and cannot have motors or pedals. The entry fee is $20, and pre-registration is required.

Whether you are behind the wheel or cheering from the sidelines, the Soapbox Derby promises thrills, close finishes, laughs, and unforgettable moments!

NEW THIS YEAR—POWER WHEEL RACING!
For the very first time, our youngest racers are getting their own chance to take over the track!

Children age 8 and under can climb into their favorite Power Wheels and race toward the finish line in this brand-new Jackson County Fair event. There will be separate racing categories for 12V and 24V Power Wheels, giving our pint-sized drivers a fair and exciting chance to compete.

There is NO registration fee for the Power Wheel Races, but all drivers must wear a helmet.

We cannot wait to see the decorated vehicles, determined little racers, proud families, and cheering crowds as Power Wheel Racing makes its Jackson County Fair debut! This is sure to become one of the most adorable, exciting, and talked-about events of the year.

Bring the entire family, find a great spot along the course, and get ready to cheer on racers both big and small!
