JACKSON, Miss. — The city of Jackson, Mississippi -- long plagued with water problems -- issued a boil-water advisory on Christmas Day until further notice.
According to Jackson officials, the city's water system lost pressure because of unidentifiable breaks in its distribution system, resulting in some parts of Jackson experiencing little to no water pressure.
"Our crews are all busy today working to restore pressure," Jackson's communications director Melissa Payne told ABC News on Monday in an emailed statement. The city's most recent boil-water advisory impacts all surface water connections and excludes customers using its well systems. The water crisis highlighted residents' years-long plight with the city's ongoing water issues and raised questions about how Jackson came to be in this situation and what the long-term plans were to fix the issue.
