From an article:
Is Jackson MS water safe to drink?
"Jackson, the state capital, is more than 80% Black or African American, according to U.S. Census data. "Do not drink the water," Reeves told a hastily called news conference. "In too many cases, it is raw water from the reservoir being pushed through the pipes." - Aug 31, 2022
And this:
"On the surface, the apparent cause of this crisis is damaged infrastructure: Recent flooding strained the city’s largest water treatment plant, O.B. Curtis, which was already dogged with problems. Plus, there was another issue with water pumps at a secondary treatment facility known as J.H. Fewell. As a result, many of the city’s water towers remain nearly empty, leaving the system without enough water or water pressure to fill pipes in homes, schools, and businesses."
