Restaurants in Jackson are ramping up and are ready to roll now that Gov. Tate Reeves has announced that Jackson's boil-water notice can be lifted.

Recent testing indicates water is safe to drink and the state will continue to monitor the water and conduct additional testing.

A press release from the Mississippi State Department of Health announced the boil-water notice for all City of Jackson is lifted.

Restaurant owners immediately reacted to the news and generally are ready to start using Jackson's water supply again.

Previously, Friedler had been frustrated with the city and state and their reaction to the water crisis.

"We will run the water for 24 hours before using," said Sarah Friedler, general manager of Brent's Drugs. "Turning on ice machines and running lines now. We will dump that ice and then begin to use it. I think it will be Saturday before we start using."

"People are getting worn out," she said before. "People are choosing not to dine in Jackson."

Derek Emerson, who owns Walker's Drive-In in Jackson, had previously said, "This isn't a new thing. It has been going on for me for like 20 years. Everybody is acting like this is a new situation. It's not. It's a ridiculous situation that should have been addressed 20 years ago."

Thursday afternoon, Emerson said he would allow water to run for a while before he used it, but he will use city water.

"I hope it lasts," he said.

Local restaurateur Jeff Good, who owns Sal and Mookies and other restaurants, said his Jackson restaurants would shift to using the city's water Thursday after the official notice.

"We (will) clean out filters and start," Good said.

Steve Long of Steve's Deli in downtown Jackson said he would start using city water beginning Friday when he opens his two locations.

Cesar Torres, owner of Green Ghost in Fondren, said, "The next couple of days, we need to clean filters and purge the ice machine. But to answer your question, yes, we will use the water."

Highball Lanes, The Pearl and The Capri, run by Robert St. John, said they will go back on city water once they clean filters and take necessary safety precautions.

A representative from the Iron Horse Grill said the restaurant will resume using city water.

Restaurant owners across the city had been spending anywhere from $800 to $2,000 daily for outside water and drinking to keep their businesses up and running.

"Let's be honest, until they get this worked out, and until they get the crime situation worked out, it is going to make it really hard for people to do business (in Jackson)," Emerson said previously. "My question is, when are insurance companies going to get tired of paying out claims for loss of business and start suing the city? What are they going to do when there are a bunch of class action lawsuits? Maybe everyone should quit paying their water bills and see what happens."

The message from the governor's office Thursday was that everything is a go, but he does expect to have some challenges along the way.

However, as it stands today, restaurants in Jackson may begin the process of using city water and not spending extra money on bottled water and drinks.
