Water Emergency

Emergency Personnel and Honorable Officials: fam extremely concerned after being sent the following phote and this issue needs to be investigated ASAP - LL. Flint tap water. In 2014, Flint’s emergency manager disconnected the city from the Detroit Water and Sewerage Department (DWSD) and started providing residents with water from the Flint River. Since that time, residents have been struggling to maintain access to a clean, safe drinking water supply. Residents of Flint report having tap water with high levels of copper, lead, THMs (chemicals that result when chlorine mixes with organic matter), tin, lime and iron. The water is often brown or bluish-green in color and contains sediment. As a result, people are experiencing symptoms including hair loss, lead poisoning and diseases related to consuming high levels of copper (to name a few}. The Flint River clearly is not a safe, reliable source for the city's drinking water. It was as easy as pushing a button to disconnect from DWSD; it's time to push the button again, reconnecting Flint to DWSD and providing Flint residents with the clean, safe water they deserve. Please reconnect Flint to the Detroit Water and Sewerage Department immediately and make water safe and clean for all.
