Residents in Mississippi's capital city get "positive" news as water begins flowing again

Jackson, Mississippi, residents are still facing a water crisis nearly a week after flooding in the Pearl River damaged the city's water system, though water pressure has been restored to most of the city, the city said in a news release Sunday.

Why it matters: The crisis has upended life for the city of nearly 150,000 people, with schools shifting to remote learning and businesses being forced to shutter or install expensive fixes like portable toilets. People have had to wait in long lines for potable water.
