EPA Says Flint, Michigan Water Is Safe Again

Description

On June 23rd, Federal officials announced that it is now safe for anyone to drink properly filtered water in Flint, Michigan, where a public health crisis erupted after residents were exposed to dangerously high levels of lead. The Environmental Protection Agency said in a statement that the most recent testing at nearly 50 locations in the city showed lead levels far below those considered dangerous. But the city's mayor said some homes in Flint can't be fitted with filters, so bottled water is still needed. Lead can be toxic, and children are especially vulnerable.
