A boil-water notice was lifted for Jackson, Mississippi on Thursday. The announcement comes nearly seven weeks after Gov.
#TateReeves declared a state of emergency when there was no running water in the city.

The city had been under a boil water notice since July 29 after tests found a cloudy quality to city-supplied water that could hinder the disinfection process and lead to illness. According to
@cnn excessive rainfall and flooding pushed their water treatment plant to failure, resulting in little to no water pressure for many residents.

"We can now announce that we have restored clean water to the city of Jackson as of today," Gov. Reeves said at a news conference. "We can state that the boil water advisory can be lifted for all those that rely on Jackson’s water system."
