Jackson Jambalaya

And Jackson wants to sue Rankin for wanting to build their own plant....

This is an EPA violation requiring immediate reporting to MDEQ under the City's consent decree. Undoubtedly the City complied with the decree and self-reported, and is taking the required remediation steps. NOT.

Nice landcruser!

There goes lunch plans. Why, why, why did I look?

But hey, lets spend $100k on prosecuting whitey who paid his wife's $1700 cell phone bill. #priorities.

Once they run the tax payers out of town this will happen on the reg. #betthat

Yet another example of how Jackson residents choose to endanger their families. I have no sympathy for people who have the means to get out but chose to stay. I do, however, feel very sorry for their families. Who must go about their daily lives dealing with both health and physical dangers. Simply because the Head of Household doesn't care enough about their well being.

Maybe if the city didn't have so many thugs like the one recently convicted for stealing money to pay his wife's phone bill we wouldn't see this.

Been leaving comments here about the same problem for years. All that untreated sewage flows directly to the Eastover lakes and then into the Pearl. But you won't hear anything out of Ladd, Stauffer and those against the One Lake project demanding an end to raw sewage pollution discharges in the river.

How is this possible given the proximity to Whole Foods?

So how is the current administration supposed to make the necessary repairs? Where's the money going to come from? The state has multiple properties they do not pay anything on, but utilize the infrastructure the same as a resident and contribute "sh*t" 24/7.

Its easy to say what should be done, but no one ever offers any solutions on how to get it done, since they know everything.

Just a bunch of arm chair quarterbacks, b*tching about the play calling.

This is caused by rainwater infiltration into the sewer lines. this is because of holes in the sewer lines. The volume of wastewater then becomes too much for the system to handle so it backs up. The sewer lines either need to be replaced or repaired. Sometimes it may be just one big hole in the sewer line that can be repaired relatively inexpensively. The city would have to smoke test the lines to find where the rain water is infiltrating the lines.

One more thing, many times it is the residents' own lines that need repairing because that can be where the rainwater enters the sewer lines.

There you go 1:40! Blame the stupid ass taxpayers who haven't left yet!

11:08am, thanks to Trump there soon won't be an EPA. So Jackson has nothing to worry about. Screw the consent decree!

In this day of unlimited minutes, text, and data, how exactly do you run up a $1700 cell phone bill?

I filed a complaint with the EPA. Sent those pictures in.
I no longer live in Jackson. Take action. File too. Below is the web address.

1:33 When someone GIVES you the car it doesn't mean they're gonna keep paying the repairs when you have it.

Wow you ain't never seen a little poop before. A Lil bit escapes every rain, sometimes you see it sometimes you don't, even in Madison, Clinton or anywhere else.

We had the same deluge in Madison.

Fortunately the fake stucco seems undamaged :-)

Keep gloating, Jacktowners...

@ 1:40pm

Finally someone with some knowledge on how to address the issue.

@ 1:51pm

So we continue the cycle of moving to the suburbs, to continue building sh*t and then no longer doing maintenance to maintain the new sh*t built!

That is so hot.....I know where I'm going mudding later....

@1:33 - I don't claim to have all the answers nor know where the money is going to come from. However, I imagine residents of NE Jackson would rather the city make strides to repair sewage issues than to be wasting resources building beds and planting shrubs in the Lakeland Dr medians from 55 to Ridgewood. The city only cuts the grass in the medians twice a summer, when it's knee high, overtaking the curbs and growing into the traffic lanes. The grass will be higher than the planted bushes if the current mowing schedule continues. Talk about polishing a turd!

What does the City do with its CDBG money that come in every year to used to fix these problems.

1:52, Pittpanther, cell phone bills add up each month. Allen did not pay the phone bills until he was caught. He owed that much for all of the months he didn't pay. Just another benefit he thought was owed to him just for being him.

Hey dumbest @4:22- the city didn't pay for the median landscaping. It was Lafleur East Foundation and private money. Why don't you do something beneficial with your time like the volunteers at LEF instead of being a douche.

All knowing @5:04- LE needs to promote their project more. Half of my coworkers live in or near LE and suspected it was a Yarber reelection project.

Looks like the back door to City Hall.

If you think those photos are disgusting, go have a look at the "skid marks" via street view within Google Earth. Without a doubt somebody has plumbed the storm sewer (rain runoff that enters the grate inlets in the curb of the street) into the sanitary sewer (the shizzle), if I was a betting man I'd pick the grate inlet in the curb just a few feet to the west of the problem manhole...the one with pavement repairs in front of it. So the next time we get a heavy rain in that area, squirt a full bottle of dish soap into that grate inlet and I bet you get bubbly out of the suspect manhole. Hopefully the water valve next to the sanitary sewer manhole in question is ok. Cheers!

Please flush twice-it's a long way to City Hall.

Stucco is stucco. There is no such thing as 'fake' Stucco. The shitters and lines in Madison work fine. Shit flows south when mixed with a sufficient amount of water. It's not until the byproduct crosses County Line headed south that these problems 'surface'.

All problems surface in Jackson. Throw rocks and bottles at it.

Maybe changing the names of the streets will stop the flow of raw sewage. Looks like name changing is at the top of the list of things to do by the city council.

Hey, maybe we should bring in AECOM and the "Jackson 5" featuring political operative Mitzi Bickers...Our opening act could be strippers wearing body paint to get the Einsteins in city hall fired up to take action on raw sewage spilling in our streets...

Are you the same jackass who intermittently brays about "fake columns", and about everything in Madison being of brick? Are you somebody's alcoholic brother-in-law, being paid pennies-per-post, for these pitiful attempts at attacks?

In any event, your frequent use of the term, "fake stucco", led me to look up the definition of 'Stucco'. From Wikipedia: "Modern stucco is used as an exterior cement plaster wall covering. It is usually a mix of sand, Portland cement, lime and water, but may also consist of a proprietary mix of additives including fibers and synthetic acrylics that add strength and flexibility." (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stucco)

As I suspected, there is NO SUCH THING AS "FAKE STUCCO". Since another poster, after having established that there are no such things as "Fake Columns", seems to have caused you to stop (if only temporarily) carping about "Fake Columns", I'm hoping that the above information will (for as long as your gin-soaked brain can remember it) cause you to shut up about the "Fake Stucco".
