Jackson, Mississippi, officials report progress in restoring water after last month’s powerful storm
After more than two weeks without a drop of water, one Jackson, Mississippi, restaurant is finally back open for business.
“It has been depressing, coming into work thinking we’re going to open again, we get a drip of water, then it’s gone,” Sal & Mookie’s manager Brandy Fields told CNN affiliate WAPT.
In the aftermath of brutal winter storms that pounded parts of the US, thousands of Jackson residents and businesses faced a similar reality: no running water.
The city had to provide “flushing water” to residents while distributions of water bottles continue across Jackson.
