The city of Jackson issued the following statement.
As
of this morning, a temporary pump has been installed at the TV Road
Well. The TV Road Well is back online and adding additional water
into the Jaxkson Maddox Well System while repair work continues to
install a new pump at the Siwell Road Well.
The
Siwell Road Well will remain offline as work continues over the next
few days with an anticipated completion of Thursday, June 10, 2021,
weather
permitting. The temporary pump at TV Road will help, however, residents
in the impacted areas, particularly those at higher elevations, can
still expect disruptions in their service until all repairs are
complete.
A
precautionary boil water notice is in effect for the impacted areas and
will remain in place until the repairs at the Siwell Road are completed
and
two days of testing are approved by the Mississippi State Department of
Health.
The Jackson Maddox Well System is comprised of six wells and serves approximately 16K well water connections primarily in South Jackson and the City of Byram. It is estimated that approximately 2,000 connections have been impacted by recent disruptions at the Siwell Road and TV Road wells. We continue to ask that residents on the Jackson Maddox Well System continue to conserve water to lessen the burden on their neighbors.

Has anyone seen any follow-up reports about the fire at the water treatment plant a couple of months ago? We were told the city was investigating the cause of the fire & would tell us what happened, as well as the extent of damage, cost of repairs, etc. Any updates? Thanks.
I would like to know what caused several pumps serving south Jackson to fail at the same time. Seems awfully coincidental.
