Governor Snyder, Since our meeting yesterday afternoon, we have learned from Miller Canfield that the City of Flint has succeeded in Genesee County Circuit Court in substantially reducing the plaintiff's requested damages in the Shears case. We are working with Miller Canfield and the City to get a solid estimate of the savings, but it appears to be significant. in addition, Miller Canfield believes this decision will have a beneficial impact on the other water rate case (Kincaid). As additional information is available we will keep you updated. Wayne Wayne L.

It has reduced what they can bill some folks have stopped paying believing they will be getting big credits or refunds.

RE: Updated Memo on Water Coalition Questions - July 29

See all emails with these participants
( think this information is very helpful. It will not answer the main question about the quality of the water (DEQ is working on that through Brad | believe), and the color and smell of the present water, but it does get us to the answers to the less subjective issues. Frankly, the only way the issues will be totally resolved is when the KWA comes on line and the water is perceived to be cleaner and healthier. | am somewhat surprised that the leadership in Flint has not responded better to the community questions, which don’t seem unreasonable at all. Seems like Harvey has a better network into some of the neighborhoods than the city does. The KWA PR department definitely needs to do some outreach or they're headed down the same road as DWSD. Do you know if they go out on a regular basis to the community and talk about the rates, costs, etc.?

Fwd: Contaminated Drink Water if Flint

See all emails with these participants
Might want to get Jarrod and Terry Stanton on this as well as Harvey. Otherwise it will get out of hand. It's in the city's long term interest to make the KWA work and we can make the river water safe, but we need to work with the ministers this week to help them out. It's tough for everyday people to listen to financial issues and water mumbo jumbo when all they see is problems. You can't expect the ministers to hold the tide on this problem. How about cutting a deal with Ice Mountain or Bill Young and buying some water for the people for atime? $250K buys a lot of drinking water and we could distribute it through the churches while we continue to make the water even safer. If we procrastinate much longer in doing something direct we'll have real trouble. Sent from my iPhone Begin forwarded message:

RE: PRESS RELEASE: Boil Water Advisory Lifted

See all emails with these participants
The boil water advisory was lifted yesterday while | was talking to John Gleason. The source has still not been identified and the plant and DEQ are working to figure it out. ! told Gleason that his suggestion to have contingency plans for these water events makes great sense but | had to look into the specifics of using the Guard and | would get back to him. This is more for DEQ and the Guard to assist with at this time but please keep us posted on what the EM may share as far as updates.
