Pearl, Miss– As the water pressure in the city of Jackson continues to improve, the state is phasing out non-potable water distribution. “Residents in Jackson and Byram have seen days of continuous water pressure. We’ve seen a significant decrease in the need for non-potable water at our sites. We feel confident in phasing out some non-potable water distribution,” says MEMA Executive Director Stephen McCraney. Starting Saturday, September 10, Metrocenter Mall will be the ONLY site providing non-potable water, water used for flushing toilets. All four sites will continue distributing drinking bottled water.
Each POD will be open for water pick-up daily from 9:00 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. until further notice.
