The city of Jackson issued the following statement.
The Siwell Road well was put back online with a temporary pump as anticipated the morning of Saturday, May 22. Contractors are working to procure a permanent replacement pump for the well, along with some other additional parts. A timeline for the second part of this repair will be forthcoming. In the meantime, water service has been restored to this area.
The contractor has now moved on to the TV Road well to assess the cause of its failure. The contractor determined that the bottom shaft of the well piping structure broke, and needs to be replaced. The contractor is evaluating the pump, motor, and other components of the well to ensure they are functioning properly. The contractor is actively searching for a temporary well pump while the assessment and ordering of parts is being conducted. We anticipate having additional information tomorrow regarding a timeline for water restoration at TV Road.
The Jackson Maddox Well System serves approximately 16K well water connections primarily in South Jackson and the City of Byram. It is estimated that approximately 2,000 connections have been impacted by these recent disruptions at the Siwell Road and TV Road wells. Until all repairs are complete, customers in the impacted areas, particularly those at higher elevations, may continue to experience low or no water pressure.
Precautionary Boil Water Advisory & Conservation Notice:
The updated precautionary boil water advisory issued on Tuesday, May 18, as a result of the TV Road and Siwell Road well disruptions is still in effect.
The conservation notice released on Monday, May 17, for the entire Jackson Maddox Well Water System also remains in place.

Have you ever noticed how often things break in Jackson
Wash, rinse, repeat...
If you live in Jackson and you get your drinking water from the tap, boil the water. Period. Boil-water-notice on; boil-water-notice off; boil the water. Religiously. That is the beginning and the end of it, the Alpha and the Omega, and all that needs to be said.
@11:30 How in the hell am I supposed to wash, rinse, or repeat without water??
@11:58 AM - that's what the "free" bottled water is for.
Garbage city.
Garbage mayor.
Garbage infrastructure.
@2:25
Somebody needs to tell the pack or geniuses to stop leaving the cases of water out in the sun. If the bottled water tastes like burnt plastic, it is no longer safe to drink. Covering the bad taste up with purple koolaid wont remove the carcinogens.
I'm actually surprised Stokes hasn't sat down on a lawn chair next to a railroad track & held another national presser about Jackson's "boo boo water" along with "dope boy" allegations .
But as my late father said back during the 1970's ... someone must have "clipped his wings"
(Stokes' wings)
@3:01 PM Sure, if exposed 150-degrees F for 38 days will show levels of antimony that exceed safety recommendations. Take your fake news back to Vermont.
@4:55
Please explain that nasty plastic taste for the class, Dr. Tyson.
Who is the contractor doing the work???
