      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.

      The most recent round of testing, by MSU, had more than 90 samples. The sampling methods have their faults — as the scientists admit — but Flint’s water has been more rigorously rested than water in any other city. All that allows the government to say is it’s “as safe”

      You mean the sampling that relies on the same faulty methods as the others, i.e. not being certain they are actually testing homes connected to lead service lines and relying on old records written on index cards?

      Yes. The same faulty methods that literally every city uses. The same faulty methods that exposed Flint’s high water lead in the first place.

      So your answer, as a journalist, is “well everyone is cheating on the tests and, in many cases, deliberately altering testing to get lower #s, so oh well, is what it is? Good thing Flint residents have journalists like you to rely on

      Good thing you don’t have to drink the Flint water—just met many new residents with NEW illnesses. Some, JUST moved to Flint. But, sure, the water is “restored”

      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.

      This comparison you make comparing Flint to other cities—u have surprisingly similar talking points to Edwards in this thread—is absurd. Other cities didn’t have untreated water serving as acid to unload lead and a slew of other heavy metals and bacteria. There is no comparison

      Furthermore, if you studied up a little on engineering—service lines are only half the picture. Residents INTERIOR PLUMBING was destroyed as well. Those are not being replaced. So you’re basically delivering from water from new service lines into badly corroded interior pipes

      I just tasted water from one residents tap who has a brand new service lines. It tasted VILE. Giving you benefit of the doubt, you may very well care about the residents of Flint. But relying on talking points from heavily funded officials and EPA talking points...

          (Read Miguel Del Toral’s 2015 email that was FOIA’s about the cheating going on in EPA and state testing and the EPA cesspool) is a disservice to your readers. I am telling you based on much reporting and looking at both Edwards AND MDEQ testing...and talking to lots of residents

          On the ground...water is NOWHERE near normal quality citywide. And the last 2 days, I’ve found very alarming things regarding the way water was tested. If I were you, I’d see if HuffPo could send you to Flint and do some reporting. You will find exactly what I’m saying to be true
