Jackson Water Crisis: Heavy Rains, Floods Cause Water Treatment Center Pumps To FAIL | Roland Martin


In Mississippi, thousands of people in the state’s capital are without water for an undetermined amount of time.

Jackson’s mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba declared a water system emergency. He says complications from the Pearl River flooding caused a massive pump failure at the water treatment plant. Governor Tate Reeves issued the following warning.

Reeves said the cause of the pump failure is unknown, and the city-run water treatment plant had been poorly operated and understaffed for years.

Jackson, Mississippi council member Brian C. Grizzell, who represents Ward 4 spoke with Roland Martin during Monday’s edition of #rolandmartinunfiltered about the devastating water crisis.
