Decent Essays
In Flint, Michigan, a concerning problem has become publicly known in regards to the health of the residents living the the town.

A simple solution may seem to be switching the source of water in the town, however, this is precisely how Flint fell into this predicament. Around two years ago, the town switched water supply from Lake Huron to Lake Flint in attempt to save money due to financial struggles. While focusing on a set budget, the health of the people who lived in this town were temporarily ignored. Since no anti-corrosive was added to the water, it began to erode the iron water mains.

    The public, local elected officials, Michigan’s Department of Environmental Equality, and the Environmental Protection Agency were not involved in the project. They should have been overseeing the change to ensure that mistakes were not made and that the city manager’s idea would benefit, and not harm, the residents of Flint. Third, the government was not open and honest with the people as it carried out this project. Fourth, the government failed to attempt to improve the economy in Flint. The struggling economy was the primary reason the water source was being changed, as officials were attempting to save money.…

    My article is about the Flint water crisis and how people still can’t drink the water there. Three years ago Flint leaders decided to switch the city's water source to Lake Huron. Lake Huron is a heavily polluted Lake that many businesses dump waste into. The city’s leaders decided to change the water source because the city went bankrupt and the leaders wanted to save money. The water change was only supposed to be temporary and save the city five million dollars.…

    Makayla Callan Helmic Writing February 22, 2015 Flint Water Crisis Flint has been having big problems with water since 2014, causing lead poisoning and making people sick. All of this is because they want to save money or so people thought. Is it true that Flint wanted to save money? That question was answered by an email from Motor City Muckraker which shows that they would have saved 800 million dollars in 30 years than switching to the Karegnondi Water Authority. People say that Governor Snyder was lying about the crisis and they knew that it was a waste land.…

    A Murky Situation: The Flint Water Crisis Most Americans would readily agree that all people deserve the right to clean water, but the when they realize the large monetary commitment this requires, the water becomes murky, both literally and figuratively. This phenomenon is pronounced in Flint, Michigan. The downturns of the auto industry in the 1980s wrecked havoc in this prominently black city to the extent that today about 40% of its citizens live under the poverty line. In 2014, Flint sought a new way to reduce its spending: switching their source of water. Before this, Flint got its water from the Detroit Water and Sewage Department (DWSD), but the price to acquire their water from Detroit continued to rise.…

    Flint Water Problem

    Flint, one of the largest cities in Michigan, has been recently in news for its very high lead concentration in drinking water. The problem started when the city temporarily changed its water source as a cost saving measure. Lead in Flint’s municipal water came from the old lead pipes, which reacted with highly corrosive Flint River water in the absence of proper treatment measures. Lead concentration in Flint water is found to be so high that it can be easily considered as hazardous waste. Although, the residents of Flint were complaining about their water from the very beginning, neither the local and the state government nor the EPA considered that as a problem.…

    I’m Grace Gerard, an AP Human Geography student from Blaine High School in Blaine, Minnesota. In Blaine, Minnesota we are fortunate enough to have access to clean and safe drinking water, but sadly, the residents of Flint, Michigan do not have that luxury. Since 2015, I’ve heard stories about water crisis in Flint.

    The Flint, Michigan water crisis is an indispensable example of the need for science to be taken seriously by politicians and political bodies across the nation. The scientific studies conducted for the crisis pointed with no bias to the official’s harmful negligence, willful ignorance to public safety, complete denial of evidence, and reinforcement of Flint’s systematic racism over time. Further, none of the studies looking into Flint water quality contained a single mention of political correctness or even human rights; the studies simply drew out the facts for the courts to debate. Recognition of scientific planning and monitoring is integral to ensuring human safety and public management in every single community. Whether science education…

    As most of America is aware of by now, there is a grave injustice happening in Flint, Michigan. The city’s drinking water is heavily contaminated with lead and has been since 2014. The problem began when the city of Flint switched to using the Flint River as a source of drinking water. A month after the switch was made, residents began to “complain about the smell and color of the new water, which [was] 70 percent harder than its previous water source” (Kennedy, 2016). Despite the complaints, no action was taken.…
