STORYLINE:
Officials in Jackson, Mississippi, say restoration of water pressure continues at a long-troubled water plant.
But some in the city are still seeing little or no water flow from their taps.
And there's a new worry: Mayor Chokwe Lumumba says the increasing pressure could lead to ruptures of aging pipes around the city.
Lumumba made the remarks at a midday Friday news conference with FEMA officials and White House infrastructure coordinator Mitch Landrieu.
The crisis began after torrential rains and flooding caused new problems for the city's long-neglected water system.
There are still plenty of empty seats at local restaurants, like Brent's Drugs
"We do have bottled water we are in full force so we're really grateful for that," said worker Mary Huard.
"I don't know if people are scared to come or if they just don't know we're open. We've gotten lots of phone calls saying, are you open?"
