Boil Water Advisory Remains in Effect
The city of Jackson issued the following statement.
The boil water advisory issued on Friday January 24, 2020 remains in
effect while work continues at the water intake structure at the Barnett
Reservoir near the OB Curtis Water Treatment Plant.
The water conservation advisory is lifted effective immediately.
City of Jackson is working with Specialty Diving of Louisiana, Inc. to
inspect raw water lines and remove sediment and debris which accumulated
over time. City Engineer Dr. Charles Williams, Jr. and Public Works
Deputy Director Mary D. Carter are overseeing
the operation. This work will continue over the next five to seven
days.
Visual inspection of these sixty-inch raw water lines revealed that accumulated
sediment and debris was restricting flow of water into the OB Curtis
Plant. With this confirmation, we anticipate that we will be able to
operate the
plant and maintain consistent pressures in the water distribution
system while this work is being performed.
City of Jackson will take samples from throughout the water distribution
system on Sunday January 25, 2020. These samples will be tested by the
Mississippi Department of Health. The test results will be available on Monday January
26, 2020. The boil water advisory will be lifted once test results confirm that the water is safe for potable use.
We will continue to provide updates to the citizens of City of Jackson as this work progresses.

I guess the divers cleared the log jam in the intake pipe.
Their dates are wrong. Today is the 25th, Sunday is the 26th, Monday is the 27th. I know because I have a Dr.'s appointment on Tuesday the 28th!
The remaing animals at the "Zoo" can have a drink of water again.
How did our city get this low? We have a mayor who cannot project himself into a role of properly leading a city that he was elected for. But let’s face it. The only reason he won was because of his skin color and his dad having connections to a terrorist organization along with a standing member of Congress that represents Mississippi. Therefore, what else would you expect. I urge you all to do your research on Chokey’s dad. It will surprise you.

The sedimentation of the reservoir is a major component of its life cycle which most engineers cite as 100 years. Currently, the average depth of the reservoir is less than 10 feet.
@8:06 PM - That's a Jacktown radical calendar.
I love Jackson! Never a dull day.
So we can use as much dirty water as we want?
Could it be the pipes were clogged with Stokes sweat rags. Its possible. Goodlawd i just clicked on 14 fireplugs to make this comment. Thanks google.
How can Vicksburg and Clarksdale get things turned around but freaking Jackson can't?
