Government WERKZ

[Blitzers]

In 2014, the City of Flint began undertaking a water supply switch-over from Lake Huron to the Flint River. After the switch was made, residents immediately complained about the smell, taste, and color of the water, as well as skin problems after bathing. State and city officials reassured the public that Flint's water was safe, with Mayor Walling (Democrat) personally testifying to its safety by drinking the water on local television and tweeting that he and his family drink Flint water every day.
