Damage to water main puts areas of Jackson under boil-water advisory

A precautionary boil-water advisory has been issued in Annwood Estates in Jackson and surrounding addresses until further notice.

City officials were notified of damage caused to a water main Wednesday, located at the intersection of Brittany Drive and East Jackson Boulevard near the entrance to Annwood Estates Subdivision.

“City crews are currently on-scene working to repair the issue as quickly as possible,” according to a media release from the Jackson Department of Public Works.

The advisory is in effect until further notice by Jackson City officials.

A boil-water advisory is issued in an area when there is concern a problem with drinking water may exist, but has not been confirmed, according to the release. A boil-water advisory is issued strictly as a precaution, and is most commonly issued for water break events or other low-pressure events where the possibility of contamination intrusion exists.
