Three key messages

1. It is increasingly clear through internal review at DEQ that staff overseeing drinking water mistakenly applied the wrong federal protocol when the city of Flint switched to the Flint River. 2. Today's announcement of new leadership in that division aligns with the states goal: make sure the public health is protected in Flint and elsewhere in the state, and ensure we learn from this so it never happens again. 3. The governor's action plan continues to protect kids and families in Flint, with the switch back to Detroit water last week, free water filtration for all city residents, and inspection of all Flint schools for lead exposure. 4. Flint families who are concerned are encouraged to take advantage of free home water testing through the city and blood lead level testing for children.
