Jackson, Mississippi water crisis: Many residents still have no water

Stainless steel pots, a faded-orange wheelbarrow and a 5-gallon container sitting on Barbara Howard’s back porch brim with rainwater. She’s strategically placed them under the roof, letting the light Monday rain gather and then fall into the vessels more effectively. She grabs a stock pot by its handles and pours it into a nearby trashcan. From there, she’ll scoop out water with a sauce pot to fill her toilet. A gallon-and-a-half is needed for a single flush. Her Sunday night and Monday collection are enough to last her for the next two days. For Howard, slugging water back and forth from distribution sites is more time-consuming than her newest method.
