Residents upset city piping sewage through playground

You may remember this video about raw sewage pouring onto Sheffield Drive after a city pipe busted:



Well, the city decided upon a temporary solution: Set up a pump that operates 24/7 and makes a Who concert seem quiet and then pipe the um, stuff, through the yard of a pre-school and then the playground at Parham Bridges:

I can see it now, " who has a dirty diaper" or the more likely comment "who crapped their pants."

So what. It is in a pipe.

"that's a raw sewage pipe!" What's the big deal Mr. Annison - we have raw sewage "pipes" all over town (as do all other cities and towns). Look under bridges - you'll find lots of them!

If it were a ditch, you'd have a complaint. Its in a pipe - that's where sewage belongs. Get over it.

Given the success rate of this pipe I have no qualms about questioning its placement through a park.

You live in Jackson...wading in feces should be old hat by now. BTW, I think I saw one of Stoke's two flushers floating down Sheffield in that video.

Could we also take a look at rural septic tanks and lagoons and rural water systems?

Jackson, like many cities has aging infrastructure. The streets are bad too.

What are your solutions for these cities?

If you don't want the federal government to subsidize and you don't want taxes raised, give me a plan for coming up with the money. What are you going to cut to fix the infrastructure? Do a city budget that works or give me a realistic plan for new revenue.

Is there any plan to bury this pipe underground, or are they just going to let it lay on top of the ground so the lawn maintenance crew will tear it up while cutting the grass?

Wouldn't surprise me that October 22, 2012 6:42 AM even lives in Jackson.

I'm addressing 6:42. You mention a plan for coming up with the money or revenue needed to fix the infrastructure.

The city of Jackson collects sewer from another municipalities (Flowood, Ridgeland, Madison, etc). They charge them a rather large fee for taking their sewer. The money collected over the many years was supposed to be used for maintenance, upgrades, etc. to the city of Jackson lines and treatment plant. The money instead got used somewhere else (squandered is the correct term).

Now they are requiring remediation to take any more sewer. For instance, if you build a new daycare or restaurant in Jackson, you will have to spend money rehabbing some existing sewer in town to stop problems such as infiltration.

The bottom line is that money earmarked specifically for this infrastructure was pissed away. It is like having a rich relative give me some money and say "put this in a college fund for your kids". Instead, I take the money and buy a boat. Later I wonder why my kids have no money for college.

That's fine, 9:59 am. I don't even care how long that had been going on.

That horse has left the barn and bitching that the horse is gone isn't going to help.

I'm sick of the blame game, what's your solution?

Anonymous said...

The solution is already being implemented. The actual taxpayers are leaving.

Okay 10:24, I will give you my solution since "the horse has left the barn".

Get rid of all of the idiots. Mayor and City Council should all be gone. Robert Lee, John Thompson, David Willis, and 99% of the other public employees should all be fired. Start over and run this city like a business.

We all know that it will never happen and can never happen. Once you go down the road they have taken, you can never go back. You just die as a city. Overpaid employees who do no work. City official who have no clue how to run a business or a budget. Their only concern is getting reelected so they can continue to suck on the government teat. Their is no accountability because the people who hold them accountable are idiots, freeloaders, or apathetic.

Its a pipe. You dont think sewage pipes are going under every daycare and park in the metro area? There's plenty enough to get upset about, but this isn't worth the fuss

Anonymous said...

How many above ground surface riding sewage pipes are cutting through the grounds of daycare centers and even resident yards in Clinton?

Do you even have a clue as to what is going on? Have you been the location?

Ryan Annison said...

Clintonrebel - That's a reasonable question. The answer is the top video is the same pipe three montha ago and only a half block away. This temporary sewage pipe has a history of failure and the city does not have a timeline to fix it.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.
