Families in the city of Flint, Michigan, had problems with water contaminated with the lead being piped into their homes.
On April 25, 2014, the City of Flint, Michigan changed their municipal water supply source from the Detroit-supplied Lake Huron to the Flint River. The switch caused water distribution pipes to corrode and leach lead and other contaminants into municipal drinking water. In October 2016, Flint residents were advised not to drink municipal tap water unless it had been filtered through a NSF International approved filter certified to remove lead.
Although the city reconnected to the original Detroit water system that same month, the potential damage was already done, and a state of emergency was declared on January 16, 2016.
