    The water delivery systems in the US are often 100 plus years old. A sewage system on the east coast had a blowup and they found part of the system was hollowed out logs installed in the 18th century.The cities won't have money to dig it all up and replace it on site. If it is replaced, it'll be a new system maybe even above ground.

    The politicians who were able to make this go away but didn't, will go in American history as some of the most corrupt and negligent civil servants to people they failed horrible. Karma will serve their own family when they will not be in a position to do anything but just take it. Sorry about all who are victim to this injustice

      I saw it but am more concerned about the children drinking water contaminated with lead. The children arent racist and dont choose which flags go onto their homes. Sadly parents do push racism onto their children but im just more concerned about the toxic water.

      @Starry2000 9 років тому +1

      +Okemicco Water should be disconnected until the crisis is averted, therefore there shouldnt be any kind of water bill. Lead contaminated water will dump lead onto anything, clothes, dishes, etc and it is also absorbed through the skin.

    I don't understand. They said the lead came from the water from the Flint River. So they switched back to the Detroit water. So where is the lead coming from now? Did the pipes absorb the lead from the Flint water?

    • @littleyew
      @littleyew 9 років тому

      +cooldog60 The lead isn't in the river water, but in the old pipes. When the river water was not properly treated, it began to corrode the pipes, releasing lead (and iron) into the water. Now, no matter what water they use, it could dangerous to drink until the pipes are torn up and replaced.
