City officials said the water system is close to being fully restored following a good day on Thursday which saw an increase in the water supply at the city s water treatment plants.
Some pockets of south Jackson, largely in higher-elevated areas, are still having water pressure issues, however. Williams said he is optimistic water service will be restored to those residents by the weekend.
Water restoration efforts were complicated Wednesday after intake screens at the city s water treatment plant clogged and led to further shortages. Then, Williams estimated about a quarter of the city s 43,000 customers remained without water.
