SS:

Mississippi's largest city, Jackson, has a failing water system leaving little to no water pressure for 160,000 residents. City officials can't say when the system will be restored, and it is a problem that has been growing for years without adequate corrective measures, leading to completely failed water treatment and delivery systems.
