Saginaw St. Alleged Violator's City: Flint Alleged Violator's State: Michigan Alleged Violators Zip: 48502 Tip or Complaint: Earlier this year, the City of Flint, Mi changed its water supply from the City of Detroit [Lake Huron] to the Flint River. This river has a very long history of pollution. Since this change, our drinking water has tripled in cost and the quality varies daily. Some days it smells like an over-chlorinated swimming pool; other days, like pond scum. It often is brown in color and frequently has visible particles floating in it. We've been under several boil water advisories due to e-coli contamination. Just this morning our local paper reports that General Motors Engine plant has shut off Flint River water to the plant due to the over-chlorination and the fears that the water will cause corrosion. http://www. People in Flint have had to resort to buying bottled water or having purification systems installed in their homes. Some residents have even had private wells dug. The water is not safe to drink, cook or wash dishes with, or even give to pets. We worry every time we shower. The City of Flint is still very economically depressed and most citizens cannot afford to do anything other than use the river water. Many of them have NO water at all due to the extremely high water bills. There is reasonable suspicion that reports have been falsified. Some residents have had water tested privately and the results are not even close to those reported by the City. Calls to the City and State have resulted in no action whatsoever. Violation Still Occurring? Yes State DEP/DEQ/DEM Notified? No 10 xxxEND_PAGE:deq04_b301_4071_4473_194 Rennaker, Joanne (DEQ) v
