They do not even have enough water pressure to flush toilets or fight fires.

A city of 160,000?! Wow! That’s a large city to have these types of problems.

Look this up on USA Today. Video reporting there and great explanation?
They are saying it is due to 30 years of deferred maintenance. (seriously!)

So, how long have they been neglecting the system and stealing its budget, I wonder?

Yup—expect many tiny little failures that cascade into larger failures—while the “experts” cannot figure out what happened.

“I wonder who the mayor there is?”
From Wiki:
Chokwe Antar Lumumba (born March 29, 1983) is an American attorney, activist and politician serving as the 53rd[1] mayor of Jackson, Mississippi.
Mayor since 7/2017
Political party Democratic

It sounds like the esteemed Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba has some ‘splainin’ to do.
He’s making Jackson into a 3rd World sh—hole.
I wonder why.

We should expect more of this in the future and all over the place. The neglect, mostly done by democrats, to all aspects of our society including infrastructure is finally showing the results.

Failing infrastructure—it's a dark black day for Harare Jackson. Then again what day isn't?

Infrastructure is crumbling, inflation skyrocketing, riots in the streets, but we have diversity and inclusiveness so all is good.
Puppies and rainbows for everyone!

Found it.
Chokwe Antar Lumumba
In case someone claims he inherited the problem, he has been in this seat since 2017.
