A District Court Judge said Tuesday, May 9, 2023, that he plans on placing Jackson's sewer system under the authority of Henifin, who was appointed in November to address the city's water troubles. The water system partially failed in August, and for days people had to wait in line for water to drink, bathe, cook and flush toilets. (Barbara Gauntt/The Clarion-Ledger via AP, File)
