JACKSON, Miss — The city of Jackson, Mississippi, has grappled with crisis after crisis in recent years with the reliability of the city's water infrastructure, and residents say they are experiencing the brunt of the burden -- this time with their wallets.
Jackson residents have been reporting irregularly high water bills, with multiple households telling ABC Jackson affiliate WAPT that their bills are doubling, even quadrupling, in any given month.
Henifin stressed that the cost is not only for the water itself but for the chemicals to treat the water and the energy to transport it, as well as the working infrastructure to accomplish those steps. Historic flooding in the state in September caused river flooding that created problems with water pressure at long-failing treatment systems, and freezing temperatures in December inundated the city's water system even more.
