Reporter Molly Minta captured the video of brown water spilling out of her faucet and posted it to Twitter on Friday. She has since taken a sample of the water to be tested.
The state has implemented boil water notices in Jackson, Franklin County's Wright's Campground, and Pontotoc County's Curtis Sudduth Mobile Home Park. Its earliest notice began in March of this year.
