The Pearl River Valley Water Supply District issued the following statement.
During this morning’s conference call, the National Weather Service revised the peak inflow into the Barnett Reservoir. The Pearl River Valley Water Supply District will continue to increase the discharge from the Barnett Reservoir to account for rainwaters flowing into the Pearl River. The lake currently stands at 297.48 feet above mean sea level and the discharge is currently 28,000 cubic feet per second (CFS). The discharge at the Barnett Reservoir will continue to increase through the week and is expected to peak on Saturday. The river gage at Jackson is predicted to crest at 31.5 feet on Saturday afternoon, June 24. Although this is still considered minor flooding, water will begin to impact approaches to some homes and businesses in Jackson and Byram.

keep pushing those floaters!
Add this event to Chowke's list of lame excuses that he uses for his failures of Jackistan's infrastructure.
Incoming presser of how this will affect the water situation in Jackson to blame flooding rather than incompetence.
Got to get all that raw booboo flushed out of Pelahatchie Bay and in to Jacktown
