- Flint water crisis: “Soon after the city began supplying residents with Flint River water in April 2014, residents started complaining that the water from their taps looked, smelled, and tasted foul. Despite protests by residents lugging jugs of discoloured water, officials maintained that the water was safe. A study conducted the following year by researchers at Virginia Tech revealed the problem: Water samples collected from 252 homes through a resident-organized effort indicated citywide lead levels had spiked, with nearly 17% of samples registering above the federal “action level”. More than 40% measured above 5 ppb of lead, which the researchers considered an indication of a “very serious” problem.” Lead (Pb) was released from the distribution pipeline in the city of Flint due to a switch of the water source.
