JACKSON, Miss. (AP) Water pressure dropped Friday in Mississippi s capital city after a fire broke out at one of Jackson s two water treatment plants.
The Jackson public works director, Charles Williams, said the fire started about 3:30 a.m. in a control panel, and it caused parts of the O.B. Curtis Water Plant to shut down. That left people with only a trickle of water to take showers or wash dishes with as they got ready for school or work Friday morning. Some restaurants closed.
