JACKSON, Miss. — Mississippi ended its boil water notice for all of Jackson's residents on Thursday, the state's health department announced.
The news comes nearly two weeks after water pressure returned to the state capital's residents after days of a water shortage crisis that impacted thousands of Jacksonians.
"On Tuesday, the Mississippi State Department of Health began officially conducting tests of the water quality. They collected 120 samples for two consecutive days," Gov. Tate Reeves said at a press conference on Thursday."We can now announce we have restored clean water to the city of Jackson."
