Michigan Ends Free Bottled Water For Flint Residents

Description

Michigan will no longer supply free bottled water to Flint. Flint was famously plagued with lead-tainted drinking water in a crisis that drew national attention. A statement from Michigan Governor Rick Snyder’s office said Friday that for nearly two years, tests have shown that Flint’s water is the same or better than similar cities across the state. It added that when the current supply of state-funded bottled water is depleted, the four remaining distribution centers will shut down.
