JXN Water lifts boil water notice after severe weather caused power outage at water treatment plant - WLBT

JACKSON, Miss. (WLBT) - A precautionary boil water notice for JXN Water customers was lifted on Saturday.

A press release says the notice was lifted after measurements of normal pressure levels and testing showed that the water quality is safe.

"We appreciate everyone's patience as our dedicated staff worked around the clock during the aftermath of severe weather in Jackson to sample and address plant needs, said Ted Henifin, Interim Third-Party Manager. "The fast recovery is a testament to the work that's been done over the last year by JXN Water, our contractors, and all our engineers. We're applying what we learned about our system to future severe weather events and tests of resiliency."

The recent severe weather caused the O.B. Curtis Water Treatment Plant to lose power shortly before midnight on May 9.

The press release says power was restored around 7 a.m. on May 10, and the full plant process was back on within 12 hours of power loss that day.

JXN Water says it plans to work closely with Entergy going forward to deliver full-generation capacity backup power to the plant.
