None of those politicians should get a pay check until it's done. Aren't there records that detail what kind of pipes were installed and the location?

@@toxicdubz3841 Lol. Hey man. I was just kidding around. I'm not a native there so I wouldn't know. But from the very little research I've done, it looks like there was some sort of progress, but it hasn't been fully resolved yet (which is crazy to me). Some homes and apartments still has traces of lead in their water supplies. If I were you, I would check with your supposed landlord or if you're staying on campus, I'd check with the university. Get their confirmation ON PAPER if possible. OR, you could look for another place to do your schooling.

Flint should be paying every family to move out if they wanna choose money over public health involvement elderly, children, and adults. Everyone gets affected by it except the people who run the city

How did just cut your losses and move. That mayor obviously just cares about getting a paycheck.

The funds are there and the work is not being done? Sounds like a third-world country, doesn't it. This has been going on for years and years. This is a disgusting situation, and Flint isn't the only City in the USA where it is unsafe and unwise to drink the City-supplied water. I hear Jackson, Mississippi has an undrinkable water supply. What is the matter with the USA? You send billions each year to help other countriesb but you don't spend a fraction of that to mend infrastructure to stop poisoning your own people with lead-contaminated water. I am glad I don't live there and, every so often, I hear of shortfalls in the US infrastructure that keeps me away from visiting the U.S. on vacations. Come on, America, fix up your own country and take care of your own people before you spend billions trying to fix up other countries.

I am an ex Environment Canada employee with first hand knowledge of official corruption in motion when it comes to minimizing levels of contamination in our drinking water. It might be a surprise to many Americans to know that their northern neighbour's water is every bit as contaminated as the water they drink.

Really would not be drinking tap water even outside of flint. The tap water quality in the us is just low. If you’ve been to Northern Europe, or Japan etc you can literally taste the different.
