National Guard to assist during water crisis

Mississippi's capital city was restoring running water to some homes and businesses Thursday, but many faucets remained dry or had only a trickle of water as crews worked to repair a flood-impaired water treatment plant. Jackson leaders reported some overnight progress in refilling tanks at the O.B. Curtis Water Plant, the facility at the root of the latest water woes in Jackson. Those among Jackson's 150,000 residents who had running water again remained under a boil order that pre-dates the problems caused by flooding.
Gov. Tate Reeves, (R) Mississippi said "There will be 600 National Guard service members that have been activated. They are working to help manage the distribution of water and other critical resources."
Jackson schools held classes online Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, and some restaurants closed.
