Federal Judge in Michigan Orders That Bottled Water to be Delivered to Residents of Flint
LatestA federal judge ordered Thursday that residents of Flint, MI will be delivered shipments of bottled water more than two years after the crisis that left nearly all of the public water sources undrinkable and contaminated with lead.
The New York Times reports that Judge David M. Lawson of Federal District Court ruled that city and state officials of Flint must begin providing Flint residents at least 96 half-liter bottles of water a week until they figure out a permanent solution. The decision doesn’t apply to everybody; households that have already installed properly working filters, unoccupied households and those who decline the services will not receive the deliveries.
