Water crews are actively trying to find these breaks in order to repair them as quickly as possible," the city said in a statement Sunday.That same month, the EPA announced that it had launched a review of the Jackson water crisis, which FEMA administrator Deanne Criswell had described to CBS News at the time as an "absolutely tragic situation."The funding is included in a $1.7 trillion federal spending bill that the Senate and House approved last week.In late October, the EPA also announced it was investigating whether Mississippi state agencies have discriminated against Jackson by refusing to fund water system improvements in the city of 150,000, where more than 80% of residents are Black and about a quarter of the population lives in poverty.In February 2021, tens of thousands of Jackson residents were left without running water for days after pipes froze."
