Aug 30 - Marsha Lewis, a bartender in Mississippi's state capital city, said she went to fill up her bathtub on Monday when she heard a local water treatment plant had shut down but was "horrified" to see what looked to her like raw sewage flowing from the faucet.
"I'm just mad. Mad at the city and who all is responsible," said Lewis, 42, who has been washing her hair with bottled water for the past month, due to a citywide boiled water alert. "We pay our bills and get no water," she complained.Jackson Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba, a Democrat, said at a press conference on Tuesday that contrary to such reports, "there was no raw, untreated water that went out" on Monday.
The shutdown has already had wide-reaching consequences. Jackson's public schools closed on Tuesday, moving classes online. Restaurants told hundreds of employees not to come to work, while others struggled to stay open, serving bottled water to customers and hoping their tap water would last the day.
"And we're just barely hanging on," he added. Since the boiled-water alert went into effect, Nesenson has had to spend about $2,500 a week for truckloads of bottled water and canned sodas to serve customers.A building is submerged amid flooding in Canton, Mississippi, U.S. August 24, 2022 in this screengrab obtained from a social media video.
