EPA watchdog lays out blame in Jackson, Miss., water crisis
05/14/2024
A watchdog report faulted both state and local government for the 2022 crisis that left Jackson, Mississippi, residents without safe drinking water and raised concerns about institutional racism in the majority Black city.
The EPA Office of Inspector General report placed blame on the capital city for failing to maintain its drinking water infrastructure and a state agency for being slow to provide much-needed support.
