Flint, US officials tell Flint residents water is improving

WKAR - MSU

Flint river quality improvements presented to residents

FLINT, Mich. (AP) --- Flint officials, along with Michigan and federal authorities, say the most recent test results show the level of lead in the city's drinking water is dropping.

Officials also told a town hall meeting Wednesday that chlorine and residuals have become "excellent" and that bacteria issues have become almost non-existent.

However, despite the improved water quality, there was no call for an end to bottled water distribution or removal of faucet filters.

WKAR’s first live pledge drive since federal funding was eliminated is happening now. Our goal for the drive is $60,000 and reaching it will bring us one step closer to closing the federal funding gap.
