What Jackson residents still want to know days into the city's water crisis

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

49% : The city is likely to receive millions of dollars in federal money for its water and sewer systems from the American Rescue Plan Act and Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, but it will not be enough to bring the city in line with the two consent decrees it has entered with the Environmental Protection Agency.
49% : Cooking, drinking, brushing teeth, making ice and washing dishes should all be done with either bottled water or tap water that has been boiled for at least one minute, if water pressure allows.
49% : That said, restaurants that use canned or bottled drinks, and do not use unboiled tap water for cleaning and ice, are safe to dine with.
48% : If residents do have enough water pressure to make it possible, officials say not to drink, brush your teeth, make ice, cook or wash dishes.
