She has since taken a sample of the water to be tested. <\/p>\n<p>Severe rainstorms last month caused flooding along the Pearl River, contaminating a reservoir with raw water. When the system started to stall due to the raw water, it could not replenish the water towers fast enough. This caused a major drop in water pressure and allowed untreated groundwater to enter into the water pipes. <\/p>\n<p><b><a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/why-mississippis-capital-lacked-running-water-for-week\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">HERE&#8217;S WHY MISSISSIPPI&#8217;S CAPITAL LACKED RUNNING WATER FOR A WEEK<\/a><\/b> <\/p>\n<p>Minta said her neighbors believed their water was safe since they all lived in Belhaven, which is far from the affected reservoir and near a water plant. A manager of several properties in the area confirmed that many of the units were affected by &#8220;weak coffee&#8221; colored water. <\/p>\n<p>The state has implemented boil water notices in Jackson, Franklin County&#8217;s Wright&#8217;s Campground, and Pontotoc County&#8217;s Curtis Sudduth Mobile Home Park. Its earliest notice began in March of this year. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Imagine if these views were all raised voices, calling their reps and saying &#8216;do something or I will vote against you&#8217;?&#8221; former CNN anchor Chris Cuomo tweeted Friday. Minta&#8217;s original tweet received over 147,000 likes and 45,000 retweets. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Meanwhile, the Pentagon blows through $83,300,000 of taxpayer money every single hour,&#8221; the official account of watchdog organization Public Citizen tweeted. <\/p>\n<p><b><u><a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\">CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER<\/a><\/u><\/b> <\/p>\n<p>Mississippi is slated to receive $429 million over five years allocated to water treatment under the $1 trillion Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, which was passed last fall.
