GENESEE COUNTY, MI — Don't drink the water. That's one message Genesee County officials are pushing to residents who get their water supply from the city of Flint. Genesee County Commissioners Brenda Clack, Jamie Curtis and Bryant Nolden, along with Genesee County Health Officer Mark Valacak, held a news conference Thursday, Oct. 1, urging residents to not drink the city's water until it is checked for lead or they have installed an approved water filter. Don't Drink Flint's Water, County Leaders Warn Genesee County commissioners urge residents to not drink Flint's water until it is checked for lead or until they have installed an approved water filter. The commissioners declared a public health emergency and said they are hoping their declaration will move Gov. Rick Snyder to declare a state of emergency to handle Flint's water crisis. "This falls directly on the doorstep of the governor," said Nolden. "If we look at what happened with going to the Flint River, this falls smack-dab on the emergency manager and the governor. Now, | think it's imperative that the state step up and help us fix this problem. We're just imploring that the state actively engage and look at ways we can connect to the Detroit River. ... This is a major health situation for this entire community." xxxEND_PAGE:dhhs02_b0329_1263_1263_1
