By the numbers: Flint’s water emergency

Flint cut ties and stopped using water from the Detroit system a year ago as a cost-cutting measure, opting instead for a supply direct from the Flint River.

Gov. Rick Snyder is asking the Legislature to approve about $10 million to address the city’s water contamination crisis. The about-face – which came after the state corroborated outside findings of elevated lead levels in children despite initially doubting the results – raises questions about the state’s role. It also is the response since, both from city officials and state environmental regulators who assured the public the water was safe.

It is time for Snyder to take full responsibility for the Flint water crisis and take steps to ensure that this kind of public health crisis never happen again in Flint or anywhere in Michigan, the Great Lakes State.

The ACLU began investigating after residents continually raised concerns about the water. Detroit gets its water from Lake Huron.

The Governor’s office has said it’s reviewing how things were handled.

Republican Senator Joe Hune of Hamburg Township says it was the state appointed emergency manager who called for changes to the detriment of residents while overseeing the City of Flint.

Hours after state authorities recognized her information, Attisha felt a balance of depleted and vindicated – at one minute snickering at salutary messages and remarks from partners (Maybe they’ll give you a lead key to the city, one had joked), at another discussing calming insights about the deep rooted harm from lead harming: irreversible mind harm, advancement delays, discourse issues, a helped hazard for behavioral issues, genuine perpetual conditions, to give a few examples.

There have been high levels of a disinfectant byproduct.

Lisa Wozniak is executive director of the Michigan League of Conservation Voters. The company signed an agreement with the city to return as a Flint water customer after the KWA pipeline is completed.
