Jackson to lose running water for unknown amount of time: Mississippi governor
People in Mississippi's capital are poised to lose running water for an undetermined amount of time, the state's governor said Monday night.
A major pump at Jackson's main water treatment facility was damaged and the city has been using backup pumps, Gov. Tate Reeves said during a news conference.
Until it's fixed, there will be no reliable running water in Jackson, which will impact up to 180,000 people. The city won't be able to produce enough water for serious needs, including fighting fires and flushing toilets, Reeves said.
And people still scoff at preppers?
Exactly! 180 000 people are just about to realize how prepping could have made their lives a lot better.
Something similar to me happened recently where a water mains pipe burst and the entire area was without water from 7 in the morning until after 10 at night. I ended up helping out my neighbour with drinking water from my own stash, but most of the area didn't have anything...they didn't have a very pleasant day.
Indeed they do. It makes absolutely no sense though right?
