Forced to melt snow for toilets, some Mississippi residents livid over city's long-standing neglect
Jackson, Mississippi, has entered the third week of a crisis that has left much of the city without water since freezing temperatures devastated the region. The city is under a boil-water notice, residents are being urged to conserve water and more than half of the schools are closed.

Community leaders say that the disaster isn’t a one-off. “This water crisis has really exacerbated a system that has never really worked for poor folks, Black folks, seniors, for so many people,” said Cassandra Welchlin, a local nonprofit director.
