Doctors at Hurley Medical Center in Flint are warning senior citizens, children, and pregnant women to immediately stop drinking Flint’s tap water because dangerous levels of lead have been detected. Water from the Flint River is 19 times more corrosive than supply sourced from Lake Huron, as had been done previously. http://pontiactribune.com/drinking-...campaign=buffer So infrastructure failures and bad dealings with other cities lead to flints water supply becoming toxic and could kill you. Good Job. I still drink my tap water, but I don't have to worry about fracking, e.coli, brain eating amoebas, farm run off, or worse. To those that have to deal with poo poo like this is your water like a different color? Does is smell like rotten meat and fish guts? Share your stories here about how terrible americas infrastructure is getting.

Flint reconnects to Detroit water, may take 3 weeks to clear all pipes http://www.mlive.com/news/flint/index.ssf/2015/10/flint_reconnecting_to_detroit.html Water provided by DWSD will contain corrosion control agents to hinder the leaching of lead from old pipes into the water. However, the city will also be adding additional corrosion control agents to further minimize the risk presented by lead pipes, according to the release. "The actions of the governor's office and the governor-appointed emergency manager for Flint are the direct cause of the Flint water disaster," Greimel said in a statement. "Beyond that, we must hold the Department of Environmental Quality responsible as well. There were so many opportunities to stop this before it started, so many people this had to pass through, before the switch could be made, and not a single person looking at this saw families at risk. They saw dollar signs. Therefore, it's not just appropriate, but morally incumbent, on the state to restore clean water to families in Flint. These families are paying for the bad decisions made by the governor and his appointed administrators. It would be wrong to expect these families to pay extra to fix those mistakes." According to a news release from Greimel's office, Under House Bill 4102, a supplement budget bill, the state will appropriate: $6 million to connect Flint to the Detroit Water and Sewerage Department. $1 million to test Flint water samples. $1 million to purchase and install water filters. $850,000 to the childhood lead program. $500,000 to support programs. Add three positions within the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality and Licensing and Regulatory Affairs to help oversee Flint's water system. Walling echoed Greimel's sentiment, saying while he appreciated the quick action, the situation should never have happened. The reconnection comes after months of controversy after the city disconnected from Detroit in April 2014 and began drawing its water from the Flint River to save money. To save money, hrmm, hows that working out for you now? loving idiots.
