Mississippi Governor announces water system failure after severe flooding over weekend

Governor Tate Reeves press conference on the Jackson water crisis. Governor Tate Reeves: "Over the weekend, we started developing water distribution plans, sourcing tankers and assessing all of the risk associated with an event like this. We also set a meeting for today, between the mayor and our experts. All of this was with the prayer that we would have more time before their system ran to failure. Unfortunately, that failure appears to have begun today.”
