Wow, in Canada we had an E Coli. breakout in Walkerton. It was due to negligence and it was solved very quickly (although unfortunately with some deaths). The plant supervisors went to jail.
Since CONGRESS is in bed with corporations in the States, nothing will happen. Business as usual; keep that money rolling in. To hell with the peons. It sucks. AND we have to hear constantly what a wonderful country we are, and how we're so blessed to be here. It gets revolting.
D K, That reminds me. When my son was 10 his teacher sent home a note that said, "Tony didn't like the grade he received so he through his paper on the floor". I pulled him out to homeschool him.
Stop the talk. Haul to jail. Force all officials complacent in the scam to pay for the damages. US government should cover the cost ASAP. Extract the damages from the culprits. UNLESS we hold and punish officials responsible for willful wrong doings, this country will keep spiraling down the sewage. We, THE PEOPLE, must FORCE change in government to serve us, not profiteers.

+Casey Henderson I wonder how many states have a lead problem in their water and you don't know about it? The water at the main can be fine but by the time it goes through an old lead service to a home who knows? Are they going to have to check the pipes in every home?
My parents met in Flint and I lived there for part of my childhood (also lived in Saginaw). Lived much of my life in Texas (Houston and Dallas). In fact, West Dallas had a serious lead problem way before Flint. It was not put on blast like it should have been. Disproportionate amount of children with learning disabilities in West Dallas in the 80s and 90s. 😞 . Praying 🙏🏿 for Flint still today. 🙏🏿
Two things I have not seen reported. 1. Why was Detroit always raising the price they charged Flint? I'm talking double digit increases on an annual basis. 25% more to sign a new contract which Flint refused. Detroit was trying to pay for their system on the backs of Flint residents would be my guess. 2. Why did it cost 5 million dollars to reconnect to Detroit water? I'm sure it was just a matter of turning a valve. When it comes right down to it this whole situation is due to the greed of Detroit.
Lead keeps on for multiple generations. The descendants of children harmed by the lead poisoning in flint will also feel the impact of it, through memory loss, behavioural problems, and problems of concentration... And that's just the brain damage....
Yay! You've as right as rain on this issue. BTW did I see anyone from the state of Michigan at the Flint Water Plant when the officials made the switch? No way. Everyone who was there was an employee of Flint or serving in its government mostly as a city councilman.
America along with the rest of the sane world was appalled with the use of chemical weapons in Syria. When something like this happens in America, some don't want to face up to their responsibilities. Disgraceful.
Everyone involved should go to prison! Some people suffered permanent brain damage from drinking Flint water! In the meantime, the city officials were getting rich, and keeping their own families supplied with bottled water (because they most certainly KNEW about the problem)! Reminds me of Standing Rock... Those city officials didn't want the oil pipe line built near the city's water supply because it could eventually leak and poison the water. So they ordered the line built away from there, and near the indian reservation's water supply. Then those same officials said there's no danger of the line leaking and poisoning the water!
It's alarming and infuriating these criminals didn't think anyone would notice. It's insulting! Doctors complaining were told they were "delusional". There's no "paying for it"....
This is why it is very crucial for minorities esp black people to get a valuable education. Just being more aware of scientific facts in your environment can make a world of difference in your life. You should not have to depend on state and federal officials so much for everything. A basic understanding of analytical chemistry and water quality can be acquired within one week.
i use to live in flint the whole time i lived there they kept on telling me the water was fine and it wasn't my kids had lead in there blood now there fine i have been out of flint for a whole year thank god but i still have family in flint
Unfortunately, CNN you're wrong. It was the fault of the city of Flint, not the state of Michigan. My heart broke at how my hometown switched from Detroit's water from the Great Lakes to its own water from the Flint River. And to save a few dollars? What a disgrace!
I have an idea to helps solve the world water problem in water barron areas and to replenish the aquifers, also help combat saltwater intrusion in aquifers, and help clean up Rivers that are full of bacteria in areas of the world that are highly populated.......... I believe we should focus efforts on reverse osmosis- make large scale reverse osmosis systems. We can improve these osmosis systems and get them to pump something around 1000 gallons per second and then run the water though charcoal filter system, and lastly ph systems. We can even filter the ocean water and pump it through pipelines to water barron areas of the world, tribal communities, replenish aquifers, filter-out saltwater intruded aquifers, clean up dirty rivers and water areas and pump clean water into communities. We could also create man-made freshwater lakes in areas in the desert and Africa and shield them with biospheres so they don't evaporate and stock them with freshwater fish to combat world hunger. The sky is the limit with Reverse osmosis and I think we need to concentrate our efforts on this to solve a lot of the world issues.
I'm pretty sure most tap water is contaminated and not very safe in every state.. Some water is just much worse, like in this case. I've seen cloudy water coming out of the tap a couple years now, and previously that was not the case..hmm
+Angel Light Get a reverse osmosis machine. I will take out most of the toxins in tap water and it is relatively cheap. Les than 200 bucks in most cases.
+Angel Light I was listening to a home fix it show and the host said the lead filters should be on the cold water side. Running hot water through the filter damages it.
lol this happen while Obama was running and this problem was given to trump. also this is local problem that wasnt told to the Federal and all this corruption happen under Obama as that state was blue. Soo Democrats
Lord Meric I wasn't born Yesterday, I remember Rachel Maddow reporting about this in 2014. After Rick Snyder gov of Michigan decided to play a mini dictator and removed all the local power from the City council of mainly Minority districts and appoint his two bit morons as "emergency managers."
I don't want to hear anyone talking about "dont drink the water in Mexico" anymore cause when's the last time you heard a story about that? This is America. This was just a few years ago. It's still an issue.
Native Chique I watched a documentary on this and they have to go to the next town or city over next to them to use a public shower or they will generally get a gym membership in the next city across from them just to use the gym for showering resources and they cook with bottled water.
Nationwide problem with lack of investment for the benefit of the people. I expect the sales of water quality home testing kits to be big sellers on Amazon and eBay.
It seems to me, that city of Flint Michigan needs to replace the pipes as well. A better question to ask would be, why haven't the pipes been a problem in the past?
Didn't we spend a trillion bucks in infrastructure (during the stimulus) to prevent this stuff from happening? When Flint let Detroit know they were going to stop using Detroit's water in three years, why did Detroit shut them off immediately? Can't these people talk to each other?
Ahem, the State doesn't [control] Flint's water supply period! Either the [County] or the City of Flint's [Counsel] and [Mayor] do period! Pass the blame game...
My water has looked like that at my apartment complex. Pretty gross, but I figured it was rust. I didn’t tell management right away and then it stopped.
Will someone please explain to me where the businesses, restaurants, hotels, government buildings, etc. are getting their water from. SOMETHING STINKS REALLY, REALLY BAD.
Obama visited there when he got in office and said the water is fine than made a deal to let the military use Flint as a war exercise area without any of the locals being asked about it. I liked Obama until I learned about what he did to Flint.
The Utility Director (water boss) of Flint who created this mess in the first place (Howard Croft) was black. His qualification as Director? He installed SOLAR PANELS. He knew nothing of chemistry or water treatment. 7 of the 9 members of the Flint City Council & who voted for the changes and who hired incompetent Croft were black, 7 of 9. Yet it is the white Governors fault? Snyder did not hire Croft or create this mess. This was an easily preventable event if water stabilizer was added to the water and would have cost less than a penny a person a month. Yet the black director did not know to do this as they do not teach this in SOLAR PANEL school. Want the truth? I have hundreds of hours of water treatment training so I know this.
I didn't hear about this until I accidentally was introduced to a metal band called King 810. Flint is their home town. They told me about it before my government did. This is why I fucking hate my government.
+thrummer1953 The question is where are the lead pipes? The main lines or the service drops that belong to the customer or maybe even inside the customers home?
