JXN Water: The Water System is WORKING!!!

 Some knuckleheads took it upon themselves to spread this kind of crap on social media, texts, and through word of mouth: 



There were quite a few similar comments posted on social media alone.  So much so that JXN Water felt the need to issue the following press release: 

JXN Water plants are operating to provide Water for All. All the Time. That has not changed. We are not shutting the plants down tonight and we haven’t shut any water off. There are no widespread issues.

Deliberate misinformation is being spread tonight to try to increase demand in the system and create pressure issues that impact your water service.

Frozen pipe issues or pipe bursts within a home, property or school are not the responsibility of JXN Water. We know that weather challenges are not easy but we are all in this together. Please protect your pipes. 

Customers can continue to report neighborhood leaks to us at anytime at 601-500-5200.

sounds like the family is back at work again. I'm sure the fire hydrants are being opened around the city as well, trying to make the system fail. The family can't stand not getting their beak wet from the federal dollars, and are doing whatever they can to try to discredit what can happen when a utility system is properly run without graft or indifference.

Crystal Springs Mayor says “tanks are dangerously low”. Jackson’s have been low for years and no one ever used the word dangerously!!!

I have full faith in JXN Water. We may lose pressure here in Jackson, but I know if it’s preventable they’ll prevent it. Henefin has done wonders but he hasn’t had time to replace all the aged, brittle distribution pipes.

I guess these morons thought Chokwe was still in charge of water

@ 9:00 ---- yes, Jackson's have been there for a few years. BUT the difference today is, Chockwe is not the one making the statements. Yes, when the administration was not properly staffing the plants, or paying for the required chemicals to keep the plants running, or replacing parts when they were broken and put on the shelf rather than ordersing replacements, yes then the tanks were 'dangerously low'. But now, there is a new SHERRIF IN TOWN. Henifin is on a few tangents that need to be looked at while everybody is praising his administration, but in this case -- he has brought in competent companies to manage the treatment plants (they have replacement parts on hand to be that the water can flow through the screens; and that the testing of water in the res is measured inside the plant, etc -- just basics of running a treatment plant) so --

your worry about what Chockwe told you in the past ------ ignore it. Now listen to the adults in the room and until they prove themselves wrong, put a little trust in what they have to say.

If you live in Jxn, you should expect and be prepared for low water/no water pressure 247/365.

This latest event was less than 48 hours below 32 degrees. It was worse in January 2018 and 2010. Much worse in 1989 when we had several days below 32. Had hundreds of water leaks then and survived even though there was no OB Curtis plant!!! This is all about no money for staff and operation and maintenance. Siemens fiasco put a nail in the coffin!!! Big question is what happens in 3-4 years when the fed tit dries up???

The water was working perfectly fine. Who on Earth would have a motive to make Henifin look bad? Hmmmm

Water pressure in Fondren was barely enough to shower under this morning, likely because of this BS.

Last month my wife, sister-in-law and mother-in-law went to the Mississippi Museum of Art and saw one of the fire hydrants bleeding a lot of water. Wondered if that was more sabotage.

New boil water notice just issued per WAPT. It’s working y’all!

I'm sorry to say that Mr. Henifin has now started to encounter the "friends" that smiled at his face and now try to cause problems. He has done a fine job dealing with our water system and the other "issues" that this certain group of people seem to keep shoveling. Welcome to our world, Mr. Henifin.

Filling bathtubs. Seriously??? 20,000 bathtubs, 100 gallons each. That’s 2 MGD. Long way from 70 MGD!

Creating chaos and misinformation is what anarchists do.
And, they want to destroy confidence in the rule of law as that is critical to civilization.
"First we kill all the lawyers" was spoken by anarchists in Shakespeare's play.
Next burn books or the ban them since some people took the German warning by Freud seriously. Make knowledge frightening instead of empowering ( which is what it is).
Anarchists create fear and chaos and hope to leave no choice but to pledge loyalty to a charismatic leader of their choosing who will " fix" all they broke and grant them wealth and power in gratitude.
And, don't forget they are often the henchmen of your enemies and seldom does their chosen leader reward them for long if at all. We can go back to Caesar for that one but Stalin and Hitler works too.

Any updates posted on the pressure issues? I can't find one. Didn't think I was going to get to shower this morning it was so low.

10:17 first off, it's 2MG. Not 2MGD.

The normal daily usage in Jxn is 30MGD. But as was said (read all the words, not just those you pick and choose) with the breaks that are occurring usage that day was 70MG.

Adding an unnecessary 2MG at the same time the breaks were happening - when the freeze was abating was adding to the unnecessary use. Yes, under normal situation filling those tubs would only increase the use by 8% or so - but 8% when use has already doubled is a big deal.

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. Tackleberry will be on hand for an autograph session. KIM Waaaaaade will be passing out free titles and deeds to crackhouses formerly owned by The Wood Street Players.
