Flint

There is much to be learned about the water situation in Flint, MI but it appears that the water having a foul odor and being brownish in color may have saved many from a more serious problem. It likely caused many people not to drink it. The true danger was lead poisoning caused by lead leaching from old pipes. Hopefully the smell and color caused many not to drink the water and parents warning their children not to drink it. As a matter of common sense a person should not drink water that is brown in color and smells bad so let’s hope the citizens of Flint are gifted with common sense.
