Mississippi capital under boil water notice after suspected bad batch of chemicals found at water treatment plant

City officials in Jackson, Mississippi, are asking residents to boil their water as "complications" at a water treatment plant are addressed. Some residents in parts of the city have low water pressure or none at all, according to a press release from the city.

The issues began over the weekend when a worker discovered a problem at the O.B. Curtis Water Treatment Plant. According to CBS affiliate WJTV, city engineer Dr. Charles Williams said they were forced to shut down a portion of the plant and empty the water after what was believed to be a bad batch of chemicals was put into the water.

The city first put out its precautionary boil water notice for all surface water connections on Monday.
