DISGRACEFUL. Governor Tate Reeves of Mississippi said today that it’s a “great day to NOT be in Jackson.” Way to represent your constituents Tate. Jackson, Mississippi: On Thursday lifted its boil water advisory after Gov. Tate Reeves (R) announced that clean water had been restored to the city. But the crisis in the city of Jackson isn’t over, even if its boil-water advisory was lifted. While the state plans to stop handing out free bottled water at sites around the city Saturday night, the city said water pressure still hasn’t been fully restored, and state health officials said lead in some pipes remains so worrisome that pregnant women and young children should still use bottled water. Other residents told The Associated Press on Friday that their water remains too discolored to count on, so now they’ll have to rely on water distribution by community-run charities or buy water again themselves, adding insult to injury. Jackson had already been under a state health department boil-water notice for a month when torrential rain fell in August, flooding the Pearl River and overwhelming the treatment system. Water pressure abruptly dropped, emptying faucets for days. What they’re saying: The O.B. Curtis Water Plant has “remained at steady pressure over the past 24 hours,” Jackson Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba said in a statement. Though the city has received “isolated reports of discolored water and pressure issues,” the number of these reports has decreased each day, he said. “Overall water production did increase again yesterday,” he added. “This is progress as we continue to work towards a consistent and reliable system.” @axios @apnews #jackson #mississippi #cleanwater #water
