The Mississippi State Department of Health issued the following press release.
In order to repair the ammonia leak that was identified earlier this week at the O.B. Curtis Water Plant, officials will be transferring product from the leaking tank. During the transfer of product and while emptying the leaking tank for repair, there may be a controlled burn-off of the gas that may cause a visible flare into the sky. There is no need for concern, and there is no threat to the public. The burn-off will take place intermittently throughout the day today.
Anhydrous Ammonia is a colorless non-flammable liquefied gas. Its vapor is lighter than air and has the same pungent odor as household ammonia. A propane flare is established at the site to burn-off any gas that may escape the transfer of product and repair of the leaking ammonia tank. "Again, there is no danger to the public through this controlled burn,” said Jim Craig, MSDH Senior
Deputy and Director of Health Protection. “This will put us one step closer to bringing safe and sustainable water to the citizens of Jackson.”

Heck, any teen boy knows how to light a fart.
Mississippi is getting bad coverage over this with the national media and it’s not fair because the current mayor and previous mayors never had plans to keep clean water to its citizens. The Governor steps in and he is highly criticized by Washington and the media because…he’s Republican.
😆 why don’t just just burn the sewer gas 😂 ???
@4:15 You're exactly right. I've quit trying to argue with all of these people.
The stupidity is astounding.
They’re piling on the governor for the TANF scandal and the overturning of Roe v Wade. Nevermind that cities everywhere run their water systems just fine with the exception of Antar who ran ours straight to hell.
4:15, I'm with you. I can't stand to watch it, it makes me so angry.
But the general public stupidity becomes more understandable if you do watch it. There are thousands and thousands of people out there whose only information source is watching a few minutes a day of mainstream (liberal) media. They literally don't know any better, because they don't hear anything else.
Even here in Jackson, for the longest time there was literally only one news source -- this blog -- that was telling the TRUTH about what was happening in Jackson. All others were just playing sound bites from Lying Lumumba and going right along with them, like an obedient little lap dog.
It's only been the past week or two that a few others (thank you WLBT and Y'all Politics) have finally grown a set and started revealing "the rest of the story".
Thanks Kingfish. No one can say you didn't tell us.
@ 4:15. May be part of a plan.
