FLINT, Mich. — While weekly bottled water donations have ended for citizens of Flint, Michigan, according to city officials, the water crisis there is ongoing.
Health officials are urging residents to continue to use faucet filters certified to remove lead until the residential lead service line replacement is completed.
The state is required to fund water filters for one year following the completion of the lead service line replacement project, which has been ongoing since 2016. Highly toxic levels of lead were discovered in the water and outbreaks of Legionnaires' disease coincided with the switch, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, prompting a state of emergency declaration in 2016.
