Officials say Jackson water improving, but thousands have no water

Some residents are still without water over two weeks into the city s ongoing water crisis, as city officials say improvements continue to be made.  Public Works Director Charles Williams said Thursday more residents in the city were experiencing normal water pressure to their faucets. But Williams did not provide an update of how many more residents have had water restored since Wednesday, when he estimated about a quarter of the city s 43,000 customers remained without water.   Some pockets of south Jackson, largely in higher-elevated areas, are still having water pressure issues. Council President Aaron Banks, who oversees the area, said he has seen progress in recent days. He said Friday morning that a small portion of residents there remained without water. Most of the outages were centered in communities off of McCluer Road, he said.

City officials have reported that impassable roads have prevented them from obtaining the chemicals necessary to treat the water, and that the city s distribution system was overwhelmed trying to deliver water to so many people at once, given how many were left homebound by the storm.
