"The city of Jackson is patching up a water main break on Madison Street after a resident complained about gritty water.Crews were out all night Tuesday digging up the street.\"I have to buy my drinking water,\" said Imogene Clark.Her tap water is getting back to normal as crews work to fix the issue, but she said it hasn't been drinkable recently.\"Yesterday or the day before, it would have been more (gritty),\" she said.Clark said the water has also made her laundry feel gritty for about a month.\"This (towel's) full of grit, and that's what I dry my dishes with,\" she said.Clark said she called the city several times.\"I called the city, and she said they'd send someone out. Then I called the mayor's hotline,\" Clark said.She said on Tuesday, someone from the city did come out, but the problem wasn't fixed.\"I am not aware that we have any complaints from Madison Street on record,\" said Chris Mims, with the City of Jackson. \"However, since we've been notified by WAPT, we are sending crews out to possibly flush the lines.\"After WAPT talked to the city, crews discovered a water main break right in front of Clark's home. Since then, they said they've flushed the lines to keep the water clean.\"I think, 'Thank God for Channel 16,' and we have some good people in the city of Jackson,\" Clark said.Crews were able to fix the break Tuesday night and patch up the street. They said there is not a boil-water notice for homes on the street because the water never went completely off.In March, city crews had to repair an eight-foot sinkhole caused by a waterline break near Madison Street."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
