The city of Jackson issued the following statement last night.
The City of Jackson remains under a precautionary citywide boil water notice following complications at the City’s O.B. Curtis Water Treatment Plant. A majority of customers on the City’s surface water system by Tuesday afternoon have water but some are still experiencing low water pressure out of their faucets.
City Engineer Dr. Charles Williams said at a 3 p.m. news briefing that water pressure had risen to 78 psi from about 75 psi early Tuesday morning. This is a sign that water is gradually being restored across the system. (The safe zone is anywhere from 85 to 90 psi)
However, it is expected that water pressure remains low in some areas of South Jackson that experienced outages. Residents are asked to contact the City if they still have no water.
Today, the City began distributing about 10 pallets of bottled water at the Metrocenter Mall for residents in need. Officials will re-evaluate the additional distribution of water based upon the latest updates from the Public Works Department.
Williams said it will take two positive tests from the state Department of Health to lift the boil water notice. That could happen as early as Thursday, he said.

Well, at least they are giving priority to the north east residents who pay their water bills.
Did you conduct a door to door survey to arrive at that conclusion, 7:58? Or are you just making that assumption based on some criteria you would like to share with the rest of us?
Priority to NE residents because that is where Baby Chowke's home on a gated street is located. That's the street with a church across the street where a JPD officer is posted out of sight of the public, because the "ruling class" gets special treatment, right?
75 to 78...woo hoo...happy days are here again, right?
Doesn't change certain facts. Like the FACT someone with their head square up the ass put the wrong chemicals into the peoples water supply ! How in the hell do you do that unless it was intentional. Domestic terror is the buzzword for libbies sooooo what is this ? Gross negligent idiot has been used. Was someone drunk on the job ? Who was the culprit ? FBI involved ? IT WAS DRINKING WATER.
@7:58, haven't you heard?
By edict the Emperor Mayor has decreed that the location of the reservoir and OB Curtis was purposefully selected to advantage Jackson's future white population.
Back in the late 1950s the evil WPS (dare I say Jim Crow whites) looked at a map and chose locations for water service that they knew would put the screws to black Jacksonians for decades well into the future.
Then they sent a letter to all white residents at the time advising their migration from West, South and Central Jackson into NE Jackson and, to a lesser extent, into Fondren and Belhaven. (BTW, the Easter '79 flood was also by design to cover their tracks. These were very smart white people.))
That is why the Emperor Mayor relocated his family into the whitest and wealthiest section of NE Jackson in order to guarantee that he and his family would always be the water beneficiaries of that outlandish scheme now come true.
The Emperor Mayor has promulgated that decree nationally so that the people of these United States fully understand that those bad white people of the late '50s are to blame for the continuing subjugation and oppression of Jackson's majority population.
It is by design an apartheid water distribution system used today as an entrenched and not easily dislodged weapon by whites and will be so by decree for as long as the Emperor Mayor reigns supreme.
That is all.
Come on @8:15 AM, are you really that naive, or are you just a troll? NE Jackson is the only reason that the whole city hasn't imploded.
Improved seems like a stretch.
@8:58 AM - you neglected to mention that those NE whites were democrats.
8:58 for the win.
Keep digging media.
Operator error.
Seek name of coagulant Supplier+Manufacturer.
FOIA REQUIRED, OE CONFIRMED.
Improves? Woo hoo, that's once in a row, right?
9:00, just call me naive, please explain
Their reasons are lame. It would have been more believable if the good "doctor" stated that his dog ate his homework, right?
Improves from what exactly and has anyone followed up on the employee that poisened the water ?
One should certainly expect to improve when there is no lower level in which to sink.
Dr Charles will fix it.
