Jackson residents with past due water bills who qualify may get some relief through a program aimed at catching up on past due bills and potential debt forgiveness.
Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba on Monday detailed the plan, which will allow the city to establish payment plans providing customers with additional time to make payments on their water bills. It will go into effect July 19.
Lumumba said the program applies to low income residents, those with water issues related to faulty equipment and residents impacted by weather events.

JACKSON, Tenn. A lot can happen in 200 years. That’s why Jackson is preparing to kick off its Bicentennial Celebration.
“We’re really excited. This is a special year for Jackson-Madison County. In August, we will kick off a full year celebration, celebrating 200 years of living and progress in Jackson-Madison County,” said Elaine Christian, Chairman of the Jackson Bicentennial Commission.
They will celebrate a different theme each month.
Next summer there will even be an unveiling of a time capsule from the 150th celebration in 1972, and the planting of a new time capsule.
“This is once every 200 years, so I won’t be around for the next one, but maybe some of the other people will be around when it turns 50,” Christian said.
