You’re correct Steve. There isn’t a solution yet. I previously thought the whole water contamination in Flint MI was about trying to save money. That they were just switching sources from Lake Huron to the Flint River. Then, I read that Flint spent over $800,000 to put the water plant BACK IN SERVICE. AND there was only one company to bid on the job to rehab the water plant. AND the people who were supposed to run the plant hadn’t been adequately trained. AND Detroit offered to continue to provide water until their new pipeline was complete making the plant rehab totally unnecessary.

I thought this move was to try to save the poverty ridden city from high water rates. Then I read that residents of Flint, MI have the SECOND HIGHEST WATER RATES IN THE COUNTRY. It seems more like either petty rivalry going on between Flint and Detroit or lining someone’s pockets.

Regarding the fracking industry, these people continue to assert that there is no evidence that their operation contaminates groundwater or causes earthquakes. They rival the tobacco industry in their denial.

A lake near me, built by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for flood control, submerged over 7000 acres of farmland. The residual insecticides, herbicides and fertilizers contaminated the fish and people were advised to avoid eating scavenger fish, like catfish, for more than a decade.

The news reports I’ve read in the last few months give me the impression that big corporations are dumping chemicals and polluting water like it’s the 1960s.

We need to continue to bring awareness to the global water crisis. In the meantime, people need to make sure the water in their homes is clean and safe.
