"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?
