Jackson residents deprived of drinking water due to poor infrastructure • FRANCE 24 English

In 2021, the American Society of Civil Engineers gave US infrastructure a C grade. Since then, Joe Biden has pushed through a major bipartisan, multi-billion dollar plan to upgrade that infrastructure. Some parts of the country are particularly disadvantaged: this is the case in Mississippi, the poorest state in the United States, where the residents of the town of Jackson spent six weeks without drinking water after floods rendered the already failing water treatment system totally inoperative. The state is to receive $429 million to address the water problem, but local officials say that twice that amount is needed for Jackson alone. Residents denounce the negligence of local officials and say they are victims of environmental racism. Fanny Allard and Kethevane Gorjestani met with them. #Jackson #drinkingwater #biden 🔔 Subscribe to France 24 now: https://f24.my/YTen 🔴 LIVE - Watch FRANCE 24 English 24/7 here: https://f24.my/YTliveEN 🌍 Read the latest International News and Top Stories: https://www.france24.com/en/ Like us on Facebook: https://f24.my/FBen Follow us on Twitter: https://f24.my/TWen Discover the news in pictures on Instagram: https://f24.my/IGen
