14 Facts About Flint Michigan Water Crisis
What caused the Flint Michigan water crisis? The Flint water crisis began in 2014 when the city switched its water supply from Detroit's system to the Flint River. This change aimed to save money but led to disaster. The river water, more corrosive than the previous supply, wasn't treated properly. As a result, lead from aging pipes leached into the water supply, contaminating it. Residents noticed the water's strange color, taste, and smell. Despite their complaints, officials initially downplayed the issue. The crisis exposed thousands to lead poisoning, causing serious health problems, especially in children. This event highlighted severe failures in government oversight and infrastructure maintenance.
