Last week a federal judge ordered the city of Flint, Michigan, to choose a long-term water source. So far the city has yet to make a decision. Meanwhile, there have been 15 people criminally charged in connection with Flint’s water crisis that began three years ago. When the city changed its water source to the Flint River to cut costs, the water wasn’t properly treated and it was contaminated with lead.
