This week, U.S. EPA Administrator Michael Regan traveled to Jackson, Mississippi to convene state, federal, local, and community leaders around Jackson’s ongoing water crisis – the latest of which left more than 150,000 residents without running water. Regan heard directly from the residents about the impacts of the longstanding crisis and reiterated his commitment to working together to ensure the people of Jackson have access to safe, reliable water.
