Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba declared a water system emergency Monday evening because of complications from the Pearl River flooding.
He said issues at the O.B. Curtis Water Plant resulted in low or no water pressure for many residents.

"The water is not safe to drink. I’d even say it’s not safe to brush your teeth with — because we are not seeing adequate chlorination and an inability to consistently disinfect the water," State Health Officer Daniel Edney said at a news conference.

Tate Reaves spoke about the issue yesterday. They have no idea when they will get water back. People are without water in a capital city in the United States. How is this even possible?
