SUMMARY: 16 WAPT reporter Kennedi Cooper is reporting live from City Hall. Ward 3 Councilman Kenneth Stokes is proposing an appeal process to prevent residents from having their water shut off. JXN Water’s third-party manager, Ted Henefin, announced new water rates for Jackson residents, with the goal of getting customers current on their bills. However, some residents are still receiving incorrect bills and cannot afford them. Stokes and Pastor Williams are advocating for an appeal process to prevent innocent people from being judged like the guilty. There is also discussion about moving the call center for bill payments back to Hinds County. These issues will be addressed at the upcoming city council meeting. Customers can contact JXN Water for assistance.

SUMMARY: Maran County has introduced new thermal imaging cameras to enhance firefighting efforts. These devices, resembling smartphones, utilize infrared technology to detect temperature variations, helping firefighters locate people and objects in low visibility situations. Each fire engine will be equipped with one of these cameras, which aids in identifying hot spots, preventing disorientation, and improving overall safety during operations. Training was recently conducted for 21 firefighters, who successfully used the cameras to extinguish a fire from a dryer lint build-up. The cameras cost around $500 to $600 each, funded by community donations, as the volunteer departments require affordable equipment.
