Who Is Going To Pay The Estimated $1B To Fix Jackson’s Water System?

Jackson residents?
All residents of Mississippi?
People on this board?
Decades of improper and neglected maintenance, oversight, quality control. A wholesale abandonment of responsibility and accountability. Repeated disregard and ignoring of warnings and pleas. Years of boil water edicts. Years of crumbling infrastructure. Years of unqualified and failed management.
Now practically an entire city with no safe water. Businesses closing. People leaving. Those that fled the collapsing city would still venture into the jungle to eat a meal or go to work. Those occasions will lessen further.
Homes and businesses with no water and no toilets.

Pat Fontaine heads Mississippi Hospitality & Restaurant Association. He says restaurants in Jackson are losing customers. PAT FONTAINE: There's, you know, some fear of the water supply not being fit for consumption, so they choose to go to outlying cities that do not have the boil water notice. MILLER: And don't have porta potties - some Jackson restaurants have had to rent them since their toilets won't flush because of the low water pressure. Jackson's mayor estimates it will cost a billion dollars to fix the city's water system. In the meantime, it's still not clear when the water will be safe enough to drink.

Maybe Ukraine will send them one of the spare billions in American taxpayer dollars that the government has sent them.

Should be part of the $40 billion to Ukraine.
Just like Flynt should've had funds.

Well we can guess who is not going to pay to fix it, the ones who are responsible for creating the mess.

They should request some of those refugee buses so they can fix their water system with cheap labor.

Ukraine should. They have all of our money

I don’t feel sorry for anyone in Hinds CO. They voted for corruption and incompetence over and over. That drove out the tax base.
The FedGov will step in and pay the bill. If they give the city the money directly I almost guarantee it will be squandered and the problem will persist.
They should find someone in the private sector to oversee the project.
The grifters in Hinds CO are salivating at the thought of a billion investment

It wouldn’t have cost a billion dollars to fix if shithead, his daddy, and the precious mayor hadnt fricked up so badly.
It takes talent to have a municipal utility which is supposed to be a moneymaker and loses millions.

A local construction company was hired today to oversee the Curtis water treatment plant. Hemphill Construction. This company currently manages a local waste water treatment plant. They will get the job done. The contract is only for 60 days but should be extended as the problems they have can’t be fixed in 60 days. It’s a start.
Just this morning there was a serious chlorine gas leak at the plant that caused the evacuation of the area around the plant. I guess Hemphill got to solve their 1st problem early this morning.
The main issue is that the plant cannot be returned to the City of Jackson. The state of MS has to remain involved. I hope they have the courage to do just that.

There wasn’t a serious chlorine leak. It was tiny. It was overblown because every state agency is there right now overseeing the plant. The plant operator that’s still on site (city of Jackson employee) says it happens with that cylinder often and he normally fixes it himself. The major issue is fixing all the problems at the plant.

I'm sure the ambulance chasers will be out in full-force for this "serious" chlorine leak, though.

The better question is why they have not maintained the system properly.
