60 08 Zoom Add Slide Play Table Chart Text Shape Media Comment Background In 2014, the city of Flint, Michigan, began taking its municipal water from the Flint River and treating it at the city's own water treatment plant, in order to save money. By 2015, reports surfaced of high lead levels in Flint city water. High lead levels in municipal water can have devastating health ramifications for a city's population, since lead is a neurotoxin that is particular dangerous for developing brains. After Flint began treating its own water, the percentage of children with elevated blood levels increased from 2.4% from 4.9%. Flint's water crisis was caused by the failure to adequately control corrosion of the lead and iron pipes that distribute water throughout the city, allowing rust and lead to taint the city's water supply. The increased corrosiveness of the Flint-treated water was due to several factors. We will look at just one of those factors in this activity: Failure to treat the lead…
