Flint’s 100,000 residents were exposed to lead leaching from old pipes after the city switched water supplies in 2014 without adding corrosion-control chemicals.
The lead contamination, which has likely hindered the development of children and triggered an outbreak of legionnaire’s disease that killed a dozen people, caused international uproar and has resulted in criminal trials for several city and state officials.
Flint is in the process of replacing all of its old lead water pipes, a task the city estimates will cost about $55m. Residents have been provided with water filters and, until April, were also given free bottled water.
State officials have said that Flint’s water is now safe to drink, although this assurance has been met with deep skepticism among many residents.

But the residents are asking for bottled water.

Bottle It Up
In April, the state of Michigan stopped providing free bottled water to Flint. For a city that still doesn't trust its taps, the impact can't be overstated.
“The bottled water is necessary as a short-term intervention for a long-term, structural water system problem,” says Pastor Monica Villarreal, who has helped organize community-based efforts to provide clean water resources in Flint. “The water crisis is going to affect this city from generation to generation. And when you look at it from that perspective, two, three, maybe even four years of bottled water is not much.”
Community aid stations that were once open daily to distribute bottled water now operate just three times a week. And in the absence of state support, Flint increasingly has to rely on private donors; Weaver says the Detroit Police Department recently brought in a fresh supply.
So if Elon Musk—or anyone else—wants to help Flint, start with bottled water, which residents will continue to depend on until every last lead and galvanized line gets replaced. “Bottled water is really the life and death issue,” Villarreal says.
