Flint Water Crisis: Water In Some Sites Still Contaminated With Lead, Hearing Date On Water Bills Set For March 17

Although five months have passed since Flint, Michigan, changed its water supply because of problems with lead contamination and discolored drinking water, about 9 percent of the city’s sites tested positive for more than permissible amount of lead in water, the governor’s office said Tuesday. Meanwhile, a date of March 17 has been set for a judge to hear arguments on a request that seeks to stop Flint’s administration from charging the residents for water during the crisis, the Associated Press reported.
