Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba is briefing the media right now. The press conference is streamed below.
* Mayor said Unified Command informed Jackson its water is in compliance with the Safe Drinking Water Act.
* Several firms have toured the O.B. Curtis water treatment plant prior to submitting bids.
* The city is negotiating with the Justice Department over a potential consent decree.
* The state spent $13 million fixing O.B. Curtis. 75% of the cost is reimbursable while the remainder is split between the city and state.

The guide for the O.B. Curtis tour was Socrates, right?
Did Chowke get all of that grease off of his hands before his presser?
The poor peoples will be protesting at the Gov's house again today. Maybe they haven't been told the city will have the opportunity to do it all over again.
Dude seriously needs some new figures of speech. The “lifting up” of this and that is particularly irksome. He likes to say he’s prayerful about this or that, so when he’s “lifting up” everything from the hunt for a contractor to the well-being of trick or treaters, is he’s lifting them up in prayer or what?
There’s certainly a place for prayer in every facet of life; but to hear a politician talk like this leaves me (a) cold, (b) suspicious, and (c) pretty sure he has no practical problem-solving skills.
Oh, and pray tell, exactly what are the fine accommodations the city has to offer? Restaurants, I can think of a few. Hotels? Hmmm.
“Unified Command informed Jackson its water is in compliance with the Safe Drinking Water Act.”
I’ll believe it when I see, it in writing and on someone else’s letterhead.
No Chokwe you Will have Someone on Board to run the Curtis OB plant by November 17 as You stated! Right? You don’t want or red the support of the State! Prayerfully or otherwise . It is a damn shame that COJ Officers were reprimanded with one in jail I believe right now.Many officers have faced punishment unjustly under the current administration. Now you want to lift them up, Give us a break as everyone else Has been doing this Except You!
Wonder who Choker has already given the contract to?
Mayor needs to be jail for what he’s done to this city. If he had any integrity at all he would resign.
I guess we can look forward to no water for Thanksgiving. Jerk
