The city of Jackson issued the following statement.
The City of Jackson is issuing the following updates for Tuesday, February 23, 2021, related to the impacts of recent winter weather on the City and efforts being made:
WATER PRESSURE
- Low and no water pressure is still impacting residents across Jackson, but we are continuing to see progress. The City anticipates that with pressures gaining each day, a majority of the City will see their water restored by the end of the week. We are cautious with this prediction due to possible water main breaks delaying restorative efforts. We are encouraged with the efforts of our water personnel and the response from the water system to date.
-
Another system-wide precautionary boil water notice was issued today due to high turbidity (cloudiness) in the water.
- We are gauging progress by measuring the psi (pounds per square inch) in the water distribution system.
Today, the City’s pressure is up to 80 psi. This is good. We are working to sustain it and residents should begin to see improvements in water pressure soon.
- That is
up from 67 psi yesterday and 37 psi when the cold front came through
resulting in water outages throughout the City of Jackson and City of
Byram.
- The goal is to reach around 90 psi at OB Curtis WTP and around 80 psi at JH Fewell WTP.
- We
continue to work to assess and coordinate water main break repairs. The
City encourages residents to report any water main breaks to 311.

If only the surrounding cities would offer the services of their public works folks to help do the repairs...
I see that Canton has lifted their boil water notice. I'm work in Canton. I'm not drinking it any tine soon. I haven't CMU flushing any mains anywhere in town.

Well Jackson is/was suing regarding the airport so don’t expect Rankin to help. Jackson blames Madison cops for coming into Jackson to pursue criminals so don’t expect Madison to help. Today Mayor BigTalkNoAction blamed the Governor for not answering his calls so don’t expect Governor to help. Sometimes you just need to look in the mirror.
Why should taxpayers in other locales pay to fix Jackson?
Helping Jackson helps those fellow Mississippians that can't help themselves. It's also the Christian thing to do. And look at the benefits of race relations with majority white cities helping our majority black capitol city.
Help Jackson? BS. Jackson's so-called leaders bad-mouth Madison and Rankin Counties at every turn. Jackson's thugs rob and assault Madison and Rankin County residents at every opportunity, while Mayor flapjaw does nothing except spout racist rhetoric.
They made their beds so they can sleep in them.
Somebody should plot all these water main breaks on a map. I think they predominate in South Jackson and West Jackson, where a lot of the old abandoned houses that the City has to deal with are also located. The poor -- and poor areas -- are always at the bottom of the list when it comes to infrastructure improvements.
Holy Moses! This is an official statement from the City of Jackson and they can't even spell their own streets correctly!
It's Mayes Street, not Mays Street.
It's Greenwich Street, not Greenwhich.
It's E. Capitol Street, not E. Capital.
It's Wholesale Row, not Wholesale Road.
And I'm pretty sure no one lives on Ashcot Cirlce nor on Church-Hill Drive.
This is what the most radical city in America looks like. We don't need no education, right Chok?
