I'm in Mississippi and the way they're reporting it here is that the
water treatment plant at Jackson is not currently operating, and there's
no timetable for bringing it back online, so the water is coming
straight from the reservoir, which in turn is being fed by the currently
flooded rivers, especially the Pearl River.

They say if you open a tap, there's water available, but it's unsafe for
human contact.

LOL.

What happens if you go to the ironically named Truth Social and post a
criticism of trump?

For example, I really like and admire him, but I wish he wouldn't lie so
much.

I don't want to try it if I won't stay there, because he'll count me as
a unique visitor.

80% black with a mayoral dynasty that named itself after Patrice

A radio commentator said the schools are closed because of it. That's a shame. Kids have
enough problems.

It is a problem that didn't need to be a problem.

Could be your city next. One of the problems is the people. Every time
a utility wants to increase prices there is a big uprising that we can't
afford to pay more. Utilities need money to upgrade and maintain.

The electric grid is being stretched, water facilities and piping is
often very old, but I can't see it so I don't want to pay more. Jackson
supposedly should spend a Billion to upgrade. Do the math among 430,000
people. $2400 each. or $9600 for a family of four.

In a town where 25% of its citizens are in poverty and the median
household income is $40,000/yr. Anyone with money left years
ago.

Jackson needs $200 million to fix its water system and the state has budgeted only
$75 million for the whole state.
Would it be too cynical to ask where the governor lives?

Now they're saying you can shower, but keep your mouth closed. That
would not be hard to do.

And to boil the water before.... cooking with it?

Why do they have to close the schools, instead of just turning off or
covering the water fountains? if kids have water to drink at home,
can't they bring some with them? Power shortage so AC not working?

BTW, eleswhere, California?, where it's hot but there is no water
treatment issue, I heard someone on the radio say "your mother should be
keeping bottled water with her". . Instead of "a bottle of water".
People have really bought into the bottle water nonnense.

I just came across a statement by Jackson schools that said "the
overwhelming majority of our schools still have low or no water
pressure, Additionally, we have several schools whose air conditioning
system depends on water to run effectively." and those were the reasons.

Schools built with interior rooms with no windows need AC for the
interior rooms, but what about meeting outside. It usually doesn't
feel as hot outside.

Why can' tthey bring their own water?

It also says "Therefore, beginning tomorrow, Tuesday, August 30, ALL JPS
schools will shift to virtual learning. There will not be in-person
learning. Families without devices can pick them up tomorrow at each of
our schools from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m.
We also will serve breakfast at each school site from 7 a.m. - 9 a.m.
Lunch will be served from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Locations will be announced
tomorrow morning after schools are accessed for suitable water pressure
for meal preparation."
So they're going to have virtual learning but kids who need to eat the
schools food will have to go to a some other location twice a day?

Why can't everyone go to those locations, open the windows or have class
outside. Thirst is not contagious.

Have you spent much time in Mississippi in the summer? Daytime temps
have been in the 90's with high RH, so it feels like 100-110 degrees. It
would be hard to get kids to focus.

Not to mention, without water, the schools would need outhouses/portapotties.

And the Repub legislature vetoed allowing Jackson to raise their sales
tax by 1% to help finance needed repairs.

I guess he has to commute to work but Reeves sure would stand out in
Jackson. When you've got a mayor (actually the son now) who renamed
himself after Patrice Lumumbu the city tends to resemble the DRC.
