CitizenVectron Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Jackson water system is failing, city with no or little water indefinitely - Mississippi Today MISSISSIPPITODAY.ORG The drinking water system in Jackson has failed, and officials cannot say when reliable water service will be restored. Quote State Health Officer Dr. Daniel Edney urged Jackson residents to conserve their water resources and to boil their water for three minutes before using it to drink, brush teeth, or cook. Quote The drinking water system in Jackson — Mississippi’s largest city and home to more than 160,000 residents — is failing, state officials announced on Monday. Thousands of Jackson residents already have no or little water pressure, and officials cannot say when adequate, reliable service will be restored. Quote “Until it is fixed, it means we do not have reliable running water at scale,” Reeves said. “It means the city cannot produce enough water to fight fires, to reliably flush toilets, and to meet other critical needs.” Quote Reeves said it is not clear how much of Jackson is completely without water. Looks like a total failure at all levels of government, and there has been a boil water advisory since late-July.
