BOIL WATER NOTICE LIFTED

UPDATE: BOIL WATER NOTICE LIFTED. 

The city of Jackson issued the following statement. 

We had another good night at O.B. Curtis WTP. City pressure is up around 85 psi, tanks are filling and we are looking forward to continued improvement. There still may be some isolated areas at higher elevation in South Jackson experiencing low or no water pressure, but overall, that should improve as we see tanks continue to fill over the next day.

Two consecutive days of water samples have been delivered to the Mississippi State Department of Health and we are awaiting results. For now, a boil water notice remains in effect for all surface water connections.

It must suck to live in South Jackson.

For what it's worth, here is a number to call if you have water pressure issues. It is a direct line to a field supervisor. 601-629-7684

My God. The Idiocracy in Jackson continues. Releasing press announcements for basic life necessities that Third World nations don’t even think about.

These guys can’t even pave streets or provide potable water.

Clown Show.

Everyone who knows that Baby Chowke is in way over his head raise your hand.

Will the last person leaving Jackson please turn off the water.

Never mind, there is no water.

Turn off the electricity.

@12:36 PM - Thanks! I called that number and two cases of drinking water was delivered to us in about an hour after I called.

"Two consecutive days of water samples have been delivered to the Mississippi State Department of Health and we are awaiting results."

We're pretty sure the employees that do exist at the water plants aren't drinking the water they are producing while on the job. More than likely some brand of bottled water. Perhaps the MSDH needs to pop in and go through the garbage. Do the "samples" they "delivered" match Nestle, Dasani, Aquafina, Ozarka........? At this point, with this administration, why would you trust ANYTHING they are doing, right?

“Visit Jackson, The City With Soul. But Don’t Drink The Water”. Sounds kinda catchy don’t it? I might go to one of the PR firms and see if I can sell it to ‘em.

PS...pay attention. The City with Soul....pretty much sums it up... last time I went to Jamaica I said I would never go back

I went to Puerto Vallarta in 1976 and was told to NOT drink the water. I went back about 20 years later and the water was safe to drink. Amazing that the largest city is Mississippi has deteriorated below the levels of poorer areas of Mexico.
BTW, I didn't drink the water but foolishly got a glass of ice for a canned soft drink without thinking. The results were not fun! Don't drink Jackson water unless you have a good supply of toilet paper.

This announcement reminds me of one coming over the public address system in the girls' dorm...regarding boys in the hall. So sophomoric.

"Attention young ladies! The rules regarding gentlemen in the resident dormitory are posted on bulletin boards in the lobby and on each floor. There have been continued violations, although we are seeing improvement over time. Last week, a window on the second floor was breeched and yesterday a condom was found under the stairwell on third. We expect better and YOU expect better, and, together we will move forward".

Jackson missed out on a large part of the economic bounce it expected from the SWAC championship football game Saturday at Memorial Stadium because so many restaurants, bars & other businesses throughout the city had to close Friday & part of Saturday too, because of no water or low water pressure.

National Drinking Water Week said...

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.

Trollfest '07

Jackson Jambalaya is the home of Trollfest '07. Catch this great event which promises to leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Sonjay Poontang and his band headline the night with a special steel cage, no time limit "loser must leave town" bout between Alan Lange and "Big Cat"Donna Ladd following afterwards. Kamikaze will perform his new song F*** Bush, he's still a _____. Did I mention there was no referee? Dr. Heddy Matthias and Lori Gregory will face off in the undercard dueling with dangling participles and other um, devices. Robbie Bell will perform Her two latest songs: My Best Friends are in the Media and Mama's, Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to be George Bell. Sid Salter of The Clarion-Ledger will host "Pin the Tail on the Trial Lawyer", sponsored by State Farm.

There will be a hugging booth where in exchange for your young son, Frank Melton will give you a loooong hug. Trollfest will have a dunking booth where Muhammed the terrorist will curse you to Allah as you try to hit a target that will drop him into a vat of pig grease. However, in the true spirit of Separate But Equal, Don Imus and someone from NE Jackson will also sit in the dunking booth for an equal amount of time. Tom Head will give a reading for two hours on why he can't figure out who the hell he is. Cliff Cargill will give lessons with his .80 caliber desert eagle, using Frank Melton photos as targets. Tackleberry will be on hand for an autograph session. KIM Waaaaaade will be passing out free titles and deeds to crackhouses formerly owned by The Wood Street Players.
