2:16 am
mississippi, are facing an unprecedented water crisis. more than a 160000 residence in the city with a predominantly black population. that's jackson, mississippi have run out of safe drinking water. it all began when the cities treatment plant already in disrepair, failed because of floods caused by heavy rain. the government is tripping bottled water, but there's not enough supply. the entire city people are being told to boil water before cooking with it and to keep their mouths closed when they shout. we're talking about a set of accumulated challenges that have taken place over the better part of 30 years. i remind people that i moved to jackson as a little boy in 1988. i distinctly remember in 1989 when this system crashed after a winter storm. and so we're seeing not only the age of the age in the wear and tear on our system, but we're seeing the effects of, of climate change. we have colder winners, hotter summers and more annual precipitation. and all of that is taking
2:17 am
a toll on our water infrastructure. ashbee foot, his councilman for ward one and president of jackson city council. he joins us from jackson, mississippi. thanks so much for being with us. a councilman foot where to think stand right now and what has to happen to get the water plant up and running again . we do have some improvements over the past 48 hours. water pressure is a little better than it was. and we still have some work to do to get it to the high functionality and level of reliability that the citizens deserve. so there was improvement being made, but we still have more work. and councilman for what are you hearing from the federal emergency management agency and what kind of help have you all asked for from the federal government us for we got several levels of government around the involved that weren't before. and in addition to the city government in the staff that we have out there, we have had a number of members of the mississippi department of health at the state level that
2:18 am
have come on board to help oversee the recovery of our water treatment plan. and the fema and the pres, united states, and step in and, and certified this as a, as a natural disaster that is going to get federal support from fema. so we're going to get some financing support from fema to help us route, prepare the plan and bring it up to the speed up to speed with what it needs to be in order to provide reliable se ranking more councilman, the city of jackson the has a predominantly black population and there are many activists who are saying that the water crisis, there is the result of systemic racism. and that is something that has led to decades of neglect your response to that please. i disagree with that assessment of the situation. the, what's important right now is we have a break down the water treatment plan. we gotta get all hands on deck to fix the situation is suffered from lack of preventive maintenance and lack of
2:19 am
a sufficient staffing that has allowed the redundancy visitors to designed into a complex plant to be kept running. so we've just been operating on the facility for parts the plant that we're operating in. so when you have something break down, the, the capacity for it to deliver water di graves very rapidly. so we've got to get all of the parts of the plan that have not been given a sufficient preventive maintenance back up and running. so that's where the resources are being deployed right now to work on parts of the plan that had been allowed to, to degrade and not gotten the attention. they needed to get a complex plan that involves conventional methods of surface water and treatment, but also micro filtration and membranes with sophisticated and we, we haven't had sufficient staff marrying
2:20 am
a plant over the last several years. and so that's, that's current. my assessment of the, of the plan, i don't agree with the notion that this is systemic racism. the plants been working for many years for. ready since the change in the demographics of the city have evolved over the past 40 years. so that's my assessment of all right, ashby foot councilman for ward one and president of jackson city council. thanks so much for joining us. marcusson's disaster management is warning of new thunder showers in the north as the country struggles to deal with unprecedented flooding. more than a 3rd of pakistan is under water affecting almost 33000000 people. at least 1300 people have died after weeks of record monsoon rainfall. international aid is coming in, but reaching those stranded in areas cut off by the flood waters has been a challenge. desperation is turning to anger as
