Jackson’s long-troubled water system started leaking after a burst of below-freezing temperatures hit the region last week. Most of the 150,000 residents in the state’s capital have been without reliable water since Christmas Eve.
“This summer, the crisis of aging water infrastructure in America rose to the national conscience when more than 150,000 people in a capital city were left without clean drinking water for weeks. The people of Jackson — like all people in this country — deserve access to clean, safe, and reliable water,” Regan wrote.Lumumba said residents could help the crisis right now by reporting any water leaks they see throughout the city’s hundreds of miles of pipes.
“We do not want any resident to assume that because there’s an active leak running down their street that someone has already called and the city is aware,” he said. Lumumba asked people to report leaks to the city’s 311 line. People commented on the city’s Facebook stream of the news conference saying that the phone line was down, which the mayor admitted had been a problem that was now fixed.
