Thank you for that information. Why isn’t the water situation being addressed in Michigan? Or is it the tip of the iceberg, a situation that exists in many parts of the country?
I believe that there is so much corruption and incompetence going on not only at the state and local levels, that there is no way to rectify this problem. (still a Good Ole Boy network run state)
The trials for local officials are still moving ahead slowly, but there is almost no media coverage. Higher State and Federal officials are not likely to be prosecuted at all.( although a couple of flunkies have been found guilty I believe)
My own community used to send out a bi-annual report on water quality. I haven’t received one for years.
As for country wide water problems? See paragraph one.
All 2018 testing for Flint, Michigan has lead levels at or under 4PPB. The Federal action level is 15PPB. From a chart I can't find right now only three testing stations had higher lead levels and they actually were at or under the 15PPB level. The city of Philadelphia currently has much higher lead levels as well as many other large cities across the US.
The population of Flint is mostly minorities and they do not want to go back to using city water because they get their bottled water for free, and anything free is something to keep. I have seen their attitudes as getting their free stuff is getting over on "The Man."
