Water Quality

Jackson is flushing its water pipes to clear out the water clouded by chemicals used to treat algae at the O.B. Curtis Water Treatment Plant. Most of the city's water has seen marked improvement but the bad water lingers in Belhaven and Northeast Jackson. Full story in today's Clarion Ledger.

UPDATE: "Jackson Public Works officials are encouraging people to continue to call about water quality problems as workers flush the city’s water lines this week. Public Works Director Thelman Boyd said flushing has led to improvement in the color, taste and odor of tap water in northeast Jackson and Belhaven. But he suspects there are residents in other areas who may have complaints....Residents should contact Public Works at (601)960-2723."
