The Department of Justice brought a lawsuit against the city of Jackson, Mississippi, over its alleged failure to provide drinking water compliant with the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) after multiple raw water intake pumps failed at a treatment plant on Aug. 29. According to the complaint filed in federal court on Tuesday, the failure resulted in "a catastrophic loss of pressure in the distribution system" that meant "many residents had no running water and thus lost the ability to use water for basic safety and hygiene purposes[.]"

I think there should be an audit of the city's books to see where the money is going in regards to their water system.
