The low pressure raised concerns about firefighting and about people's ability to take showers or flush toilets. “I get it. I live in the city. It's not news that I want to hear," Reeves said."But we are going to be there for you.”streets and at least one home in Jackson on Monday, days after storms dumped heavy rain, but water levels were starting to recede. Jackson Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba said the water did not rise as high as expected. Earlier projections showed about 100 to 150 buildings in the Jackson area faced the possibility of flooding.
Jackson has two water-treatment plants, and the larger one is near a reservoir that provides most of the city's water supply. The reservoir also has a role in flood control.
