The Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality issued the following statement.
MDEQ is issuing a water contact advisory following the release of wastewater from a sewer collection system into a water tributary near Hidden Hills subdivision in Flowood.
MDEQ was alerted today that the City of Flowood experienced a power failure at a lift-station which, along with heavy rain, caused the discharge of approximately 300 to 400 gallons per minute of wastewater. The wastewater is going into an unnamed tributary before flowing into the confluence of Mill creek and Pelahatchie Bay. The advisory continues to a line from the west end of Pelican Place off Audubon Point Drive to the end of Forest Point Drive. MDEQ encourages erring on the side of safety and taking precautions if you are near these points until the situation has been resolved.
Power is expected to be restored this afternoon and will stop the discharge. MDEQ is staying in close contact with the City of Flowood and will continue to monitor the situation.

It is only “300 to 400” gallons of sewage per minute. Thank you Mayor Lamumba for protecting our neighbors south of The pristine city of Jackson
Fish will be biting here next few days
When the dam breaks on the sewer lagoon at Resivoir East, it will make this discharge look like "baby shit" and cause an unimaginable for COJ water system- Get ready Ted.

Hey 8:18, Lumumba ain't the mayor of Flowood.
Lumumba is responsible for a lot of shit, but this one is on Flowood (AKA Flo-Turds).
hey 11:42, you're a genius.
Boo Boo Bay.
If this had been a private entity, EPA would have put them out of business with financial fines.........
8:18, don’t we wish Lumumba was mayor of Flowood.
Not surprising to anyone who lives in the Mill Creek area. You could smell Raw boo boo for months last year, in the area right after you pass Jaco’s Tacos on 25.
This was happening while the Raw Boo Boo jokes were flying about Jackson.
They seemed to have fixed it because the smell was gone these last few months.
Sounds like something failed.
One of them is singing!
If I smelled shit, be damned if I'd buy tacos in the area.

They really are delicious tacos.
PS you’ve clearly never been south of the border
