The Flint water crisis is a current drinking water contamination crisis in

Flint, Michigan (N/D). How might you reword this for a stronger more
detailed / graphic / grabbing lead?

CNN reporter Steve Almasy authored Flint water crisis: City to get $28 million
in state aid and said about two years ago, while in charge of the citys
budget amid a financial emergency, the state decided to temporarily switch
Flints water source from Lake Huron to the Flint River to save money until a
new supply line to Lake Huron was ready.
About two years ago, while in charge of the city's budget amid a financial emergency,
the state decided to temporarily switch Flint's water source from Lake Huron to the Flint
River to save money until a new supply line to Lake Huron was ready. The river had a
reputation for nastiness, and after the April 2014 switch, residents complained their
water looked, smelled and tasted funny. http://www.cnn.com/2016/01/28/us/flint-michigan-water-crisis/

Almasy said Virginia Tech reporters found the water was highly corrosive and
contaminated with lead.

Jennifer Steinhauer from the New York Times said in Senate Democrats

contaminated water emergency in the city of Flint, the most far-reaching

Under the proposed legislation, the federal government would provide $600
million in federal emergency aid to the state, with as much as $400 million
designated for drinking water infrastructure improvements and $200 million
to deal with the health fallout from the lead exposure, said Steinhauer.

According to Jeff Karoub from the Associated Press, state emergency

response officials say about 176,000 cases of water, 93,000 water filters and
29,000 water-testing kits have been distributed to residents since Jan. 6.

There are more than 8,000 children in that city of roughly 99,000 people
whose brains, impulse control and learning ability may have been
permanently damaged by lead in Flint's drinking water, said Washington
Post reporter Janell Ross.
According to the Michigan Radio Newsroom, the University of Michigan will
use $100,000 in research funding to address the Flint water crisis. The
announcement is part of a series of efforts led by the University of Michigans
three campuses in Ann Arbor, Flint, and Dearborn to address problems
caused by lead-contaminated water.

This is a tragedy that should not have happened, said Susan Borrego,
chancellor of UM-Flint, in a letter posted on the schools website. Although
resources are now being committed to the community, we know it is going to
take time to address the infrastructure issues, to set up care for the children
who ingested lead, and to determine how to prevent this from ever
happening again.
