generic Watch replay: Jackson mayor gives update on city's water crisis
Jackson Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba will hold a press conference at 1 p.m. Tuesday to update the city on the ongoing water crisis. Monday marked one week since the more than 150,000 residents of Mississippi's capital city lost reliable access to running water.
After more than a week without running water for most citizens in Jackson, the city said on Tuesday that water pressure should be back for everyone, though water will still need to be boiled to be safe for human consumption.
Now that pressure has been restored, Gov. Tate Reeves announced Monday that the Mississippi State Department of Health will be resuming investigative testing on the water coming out of the O.B. Curtis Water Treatment Plant. A number of questions are still on the minds of residents, including when the water will be safe to drink.
