The Jackson, Mississippi, city council has voted to approve a legal agreement with the Environmental Protection Agency which aims to find a long-term solution to the city’s water crisis
The Jackson, Mississippi, city council voted Thursday to approve a legal agreement with the Environmental Protection Agency which aims to find a long-term solution to the city’s water crisis. City and state officials have been engaged in ongoing negotiations to establish federal involvement in running the city’s troubled water system, CNN has previously reported.
The failure of the city’s main treatment plant resulted in major water shortages and weeks of unsafe drinking water. It was not until late October that the agency determined water from the city’s treatment plants had become safe to drink. The EPA opened an investigation into the city’s water systems in mid-September when many residents were still required to boil their water before consuming it or using it to shower, cook or wash dishes.
