JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — About 2,000 water customers in Jackson are still advised to boil their water amid ongoing repairs to the city’s water systems.

A boil water notice is still in effect for about 2,000 customers who use well water, WAPT-TV reported.

A new pump arrived Friday for one well that will replace a temporary pump, officials said. The city had to wait for additional parts to install the new pump.
