The OP implies that this is common to everyone in the state, and I believe it to be nonsense. I know about what's going on in Jackson, but I can assure you, the issues with the Pearl River flooding a treatment plant are limited to the city of Jackson.

Where I live, they shut off the water if you don't pay your bill.

Jackson isn't handling things very well. The governor is kind of a turd. There's blame to go all around.

So were the streets of San Francisco the last time I was there. Has gov Nonsense fixed that sanitary problem yet?

The supply chain problem is a time bomb for many water supplies across the country. Even basic maintenance / upgrades have major problems with getting parts. So don't just point fingers at the "hicks" and think your water supply is safe or will stay that way.

You, like everyone else, seem to have missed that I live in Mississippi.

I'm the only one in the comments that has said so.

I'm pretty sure me and all my neighbors are 'hicks'.

Certainly more so than the good people of Jackson.
