Dan -— FYI. | used to commute to Detroit with Mike Steinberg, who is head of litigation for the ACLU in Michigan. He just called to say they may be getting involved with the Flint case to see if they can force Flint to go back to DWSD.

He is pretty straight- up in terms of letting you know where they will go and you can trust him if there is a settlement discussion to play it straight. That said, he has been with the ACLU for years, so you know where they are likely to be and be able to go. His cell number i --Valerie Valerie J.M.

Valerie, We did ask for funding for this in our budget request this year. | will ask on your second question. | think so but not sure. Dan Wyant

Dan -- Two questions leapt out at me from this report: --The statement that in a few years, the non-community water supplies will have a serious cost hit them for total coliform (bacterial) compliance and no funding to address it. Is that something we should be looking at trying to support in longer-term budgets? --The fact that we are not hitting our goals for avoiding acute health risks for water quality (not hitting 95% compliant). Is this mostly the Flint problem showing up in the stats or are there other areas with drinking water quality acute problems? --Valerie

FYI. This underscores the need for the folks from DEQ to talk to the EM in Flint, and to make sure a blended water solution is being explored. I know Dan's team was working on getting that set up.
