Jackson, Mississippi, to go without reliable drinking water indefinitely

And last time I was there, it was a dry county.

The Mayor said their primary pumps were damaged, no idea how long to resume operations.

I was originally from a small town right outside Jackson MS. I left when I was 17 and it was a nice town. Me and my wife after my retirement went there for one of our daughters away basketball games. Even in what used to be the really ritzy swank nice part of town is now thug gangster. I mean gangster. People getting shot all the time. If the pumps for water purification have been maintained like the rest of the infrastructure (roads will tear the frame off your car), then they will be without water for a really long time. Again, you vote in thugs and self centered politicians who don't know anything about running a city, people avoiding taxes or not paying them at all, and them the mismanagement of funds and this is what you get. Chump don't want the help Chump don't get the help.
