President Biden announced his administration is sending $115 million in funding to repair the water infrastructure in Jackson, Miss., where issues in the system have plagued the city for years and left residents last summer without running water for days.
focused on water infrastructure last fall, lawmakers on both sides of the aisle had expressed concern about Jackson’s water crisis and emphasized the need for longer-term solutions there.
Biden credited Rep. Bennie G. Thompson for advocating for his constituents and noted his administration has been sending resources to improve water systems in communities around the country to stave off other potential emergencies. “While we have made a lot of progress, there is much more work to do to ensure that all Americans have access to clean water,” Biden said. “Until all our children can safely drink water from the tap, our fight for clean water must, and will, continue.”
