💧 H2O INTRO 🤝 Meet Terence Byrd of Jackson Water
In 2022, the Jackson, Mississippi water crisis left tens of thousands without drinking water for weeks, exposing deep infrastructure challenges. Now, the city is taking bold steps to ensure history doesn’t repeat itself.
Terence Byrd, Chief Water Operations Officer for Jackson Water, is leading improvements to optimize corrosion control, replace aging pipes, and assess critical valves. A key initiative is the Jackson Water Academy, a program designed to educate residents on utility operations and empower them with knowledge about the work behind water system repairs.
By increasing transparency and community engagement, Jackson Water is not just fixing pipes—it’s rebuilding trust in the city’s water system and securing a more resilient future.
Byrd is an alum of the Water Innovation Leadership Development program of Duke University Nicholas School of the Environment and Duke Environment Plus.
