And like I already said, the last census...which is what gives you the population size, Flint has 102,000 people. Hence at least 50 samples needed to be taken to satisfy the lead and copper rule.

Vulnerable populations — pregnant women, children, sick people — should avoid unfiltered tap water anywhere with lead service lines. You’re acting like Flint is the only such place.

Flint is actually on its way to becoming only the 3rd US city to proactively remove its lead pipes.

Public water can have toxic lead in city with lead pipes. There are as many as 10 million of those in the US. When they say Flint’s water is “as safe” as other cities they’re clearing a low bar. Doesn’t mean they’re lying.

They are lying. Period. Maybe get out of DC and check it out. There is literally (note: the term 'literally' is not used here without meaning) NO WAY Flint's water is safe. There's no way it's "as safe" as a typical city. None.
