(AP) — Icy winter weather has left most of the 150,000 residents of Mississippi’s capital with little or no running water for days.
Freezing temperatures have knocked out power and water to parts of the Deep South.
The icy conditions are part of a viciously cold spell that has also devastated Texas. In Jackson, Mississippi, many people had gone since Monday without running water since Monday.
Water bottles were being delivered to people’s apartment complexes or brought to central locations for people to pick up.
In Louisiana about 1 million people were under a boil water advisory while another 245,000 people were grappling with water outages.
