The Jackson City Council voted Thursday to enter into an “interim stipulated order” with the United States Government through the Environmental Protection Agency regarding the city’s drinking water violations.
Lumumba said the city has had a plan for years to fix the city's water system, but what is delaying the progress is a lack of resources and funding from the state.
It’s now been 28 days since Jackson’s boil water alert was issued on July 29, 2022. There is no end in sight. This has been one of the most colossal municipal government failures in the history of our country.
