Jackson lifts boil water advisory

Jackson city officials lifted a boil-water advisory Friday after tests showed no evidence of contamination.

The water is “safe for consumption without boiling and residents can freely drink and use their water,” officials said in a news release.

The boil-water advisory was issued after a water main break was found Wednesday night on Brittny Drive. The city water department repaired the main by 3 a.m. Thursday.

Officials issued the advisory for an area including a large section along East Jackson Boulevard.

The boil-water advisory was issued as a precaution against possible contamination, city officials said.
