The way the system is run, well Tony said it all. That has changed since they've formed a regional board to run the system.

Anyway, Flint started sucking water from the Flint river to save money. The claims are the nasty Flint river water is leaching lead from pipes and everyone in Flint will be dead in a year, maybe two. So they switched back to Detroit water until a new system that draws water from Lake Huron is completed. You can google it, it's been on the national news.
