JACKSON, Miss. (WJTV) – Even those on the well water system in Jackson and Byram have gotten tied up in the cities water crisis with no clear timeframe on how long till it gets fixed or what needs to be replaced. Crews are still digging around the TV Road well, which distributes water to over 2,000 customers along with Maddox, Raymond, and TV Road communities. Going into day seven of little to no water pressure, people are demanding more accountability.
For seven months Tangela Williams and her son worked to turn their new home off Forest Hill Road into their dream house. But for the past week, simple house chores are becoming impossible to do without running water.

JACKSON, Miss. (WJTV) – Jackson Public Works Director Dr. Charles Williams provided an update Thursday on the repairs to the Siwell Road well.
Williams said it still may take a couple days for it to be fully repaired, but progress is being made.
“The well has been disassembled, and we have discovered that there is a bad pump. So a contractor is working to secure a new pump. It may take a couple of days in order for us to get back in place,” said Williams.
A temporary water pump will be placed at the Jackson Maddox Well Water System and hopefully have the water restored.
