Mississippi's water infrastructure is in dire need of improvement, with 25% of the state's water systems failing to meet safety standards. In Jackson, the situation is particularly dire, with lead contamination levels exceeding national averages by 200%. To address this issue, funding for water infrastructure upgrades is critical. Unlike neighboring states, Mississippi requires a demonstrated commitment to addressing the unique challenges posed by aging infrastructure and limited financial resources. What are the Operations Requirements for Water Infrastructure in Mississippi? Eligible applicants include municipalities, water utilities, and non-profit organizations with experience in water infrastructure development.
