Summary
In November 2012 the Department of Treasury commissioned the firm of Tucker, Young, Jackson & Tull, Inc. (TYJT) to
analyze options for the City of Flint to either remain a customer of the Detroit Water & Sewer Department (DWSD) or to
join the Karegnondi Water Authority (KWA) in Genesee County. The purpose of this study was to provide objective
analyses to the State Treasurer and Flint’s Emergency Financial Manager (EFM) in order to secure future potable
drinking water for the City.
In December 2012, staff from TYJT met with representatives from the Department of Treasury and the City of Flint to
provide a preliminary report on their findings. At this meeting, five options were presented: These options ranged from
the Flint Water Plant providing 100% water, to 100% provision of untreated Lake Huron Water by KWA, to 100%
provision of treated drinking water by DWSD, or provision of variable amounts of water from DWSD using a combination
of blended DWSD water and Flint River water.
