Thanks to strict regulations imposed by the US Environmental and Protection Agency, clean tap water is something Americans take for granted. But such is not the case for the residents of Flint, Michigan. Their water supply is so tainted that President Obama declared a federal state of emergency in Flint releasing up to $5 million USD to help the city combat what is probably one of the biggest public health crisis of recent times.

      Why don't they change the pipes because that seems the best solution right now or else led would keep getting on any water through the pipes sense the pipes and houses there are "50 years old" lead is just going to continue to decompose water into a toxic waste. they have to take action because water is ideal for any living thing to live. I really hope for the best for everybody Michigan and io hope they solve this water crisis.
