Water System Update

Large areas of South and West Jackson continue to lack water. 

Well connections are not affected. Distribution sites announced.

The city of Jackson issued the following statements

We continue to struggle to return pressure to the water system. We are producing significant amounts of water and pushing that into the system but the pressure is not increasing - despite those efforts at the plants. 

The issue has to be significant leaks in the system that we have yet to identify. We are continuing the search today, supplementing our workforce with EPA and contractor resources. 

We are asking residents to report any leaks they observe. You can call 311, 601-960-1111, or 601-960-1875 to report leaks. Please refrain from reporting pressure loss, as we are well aware of the system pressure issues and those reports consume our capacity to receive reports of leaks.

We know that many area are without water and pressure. We know that for some, this problem has been consistent for days. The entire water team apologizes for this situation. We all look forward to the day our collective investments in the water system make events like this a distant memory. 

We will continue to update you guys as more information is available.

No water provided to NE Jackson?

Idling vehicle in line, burning gas, to collect free water in packs of 8 oz plastic containers?. Why not bring gallon jugs to Fairgrounds, park and walk to multiple public spigots, carry two gallons at a time back to car five times, for a total of 10 gallons per trip to Fairgrounds? Gallon jugs enclose more water with less plastic and gallons are more practical for most household use, plus the Fairgrounds well water is already "paid for".

@10:23 AM - If you (limosine liberal) can afford to live in NE Jackson, you can afford to purchase your own bottled water.

Antar should have not bitten the hands that helped in the most recent water crisis. Hell will freeze over before Tate calls out the National Guard this time.

Fixed this sentence for you Chowkey.

"We all look forward to the day when the Federal bailout funded repair of the water system due to the gross incompetence of my administration make events like this a distant memory."

Of course Antard will be long gone when that day arrives.

Turn off those dripping faucets, y'all.

Speaking of hell freezing over, it reminded me of an old joke that went something like this.

It was Sunday morning down at the community church. They have done had Sunday school, and everyone had gathered back into the main sanctuary.

The song leader had done lead the congregation in two or three songs. Of course, the collection plate was passed around. Now the old pastor has eased up to the pulpit, and almost everybody was checking their watches, hoping the Sunday morning sermon wouldn't be too long. A long-winded sermon would make it hard to get a good seat at the local eating establishment.

About the time the old pastor is going to give his text to preach, all hell breaks loose, literally. The floor opens up in front of the pulpit, flames, smoke, the over powering smell of sulfur begins to fill the building.

Women are screaming, men are gathering children, just a general tumult has occurred. The old pastor is shocked to say the least and flees out the back of the building while the congregation is pushing and shoving out the front.

All, except for one old man sitting on the front pew, he ain't moved. Sitting there like it is just another Sunday morning. Old Lucifer throws his head back with an evil grin on his wicked face and laughs loud, and long, until he sees that old man sitting there.

Lucifer goes over to the old man, he gets nose to nose with him. Looking eye to eye with the ruler of hell. Lucifer said, do you know who I am, the old man said yeah, I know who you are? Lucifer said, you ain't scared, the old man said no, I ain't scared?

Lucifer is taken aback, and says, who are you that you ain't afraid of the devil? The old man says you don't recognize me, Lucifer says no, I don't recognize you? The old man says, well you should, I married your daughter?

Your long winded screed/joke might be better understood if you alluded to, or applied, some known person who might be the devil... Bill Clinton? ...Paul Pelosi?

Well, you blow a vein any time someone says 'you people'.

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.

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.
