Boil water order lifted in Jackson

The mandatory boil water order for Jackson's east side is now lifted, officials said Wednesday.

A water main broke at 4012 E. Jackson Boulevard at approximately 7:30 a.m. on Labor Day, according to a city news release.

City workers replaced 6 feet of water line, flushed the system, restored pressure and returned water service to all customers by 3 p.m. Monday, the release stated.

The city finished testing water quality Wednesday morning, and those tests showed no evidence of contamination, meaning residents can freely drink and use their water.
