Rebecca Fedewa is dismayed.<\/h3>\n

As executive director of the Flint River Watershed Coalition<\/a> and part of Flint\u2019s water advisory committee, she finds herself in the middle of a crisis. \u201cI\u2019m dismayed at the city. I\u2019m dismayed at the state, and I\u2019m dismayed at the Federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). They are in charge of providing us with clean, safe water, and they have failed us miserably.\u201d<\/p>\n

Herself a resident, Rebecca is speaking for the people of Flint, Michigan who recently found out that they may have been exposed to water<\/a> contaminated with lead for the last six years. About three weeks ago the situation was decreed a state public health emergency. Some\u00a08,657\u00a0children have been born in the last six years in Flint who may be severely impacted<\/a>.<\/p>\n

How lead ended up in the faucets of Flint residents for such an extended period is a story that is still emerging. Six years ago the city decided to switch the source of the water supply from Lake Huron to the Flint River to save money<\/a>, but the water from Flint River was more corrosive than that\u00a0of the lake.\u00a0In that switch, the water treatment facility failed to take the necessary steps to counteract the more corrosive river water. And in that failure, lead leached from the pipes into the city’s water supply.<\/p>\n

“What happened in Flint is\u00a0not\u00a0the fault of the river.” \u2013 Lynn Thorp<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It was an easily avoidable situation. Lynn Thorp is the national campaigns director at\u00a0Clean Water Action<\/a>, a nationwide organization with one million members working on clean water issues. She says she has never seen a case like it. “We have professionals across the world working hard to bring drinking water to people, and in this case it seems that no one took this task seriously. Local, state, and federal governments need to appreciate the complexities of drinking water treatment, distribution, and protection, and to act as if people’s health depends on it\u2014because it does.”<\/p>\n

Estimates say it would have cost the city of Flint just\u00a0$100 more a day<\/a> to ensure the water was treated with a corrosion\u00a0inhibitor.<\/p>\n

Why the water was not treated properly is under investigation. As is why the complaints from residents about “bad-tasting water” and sickness were ignored. Reports claim\u00a0Gov. Rick Snyder may have been informed as long ago as 2014<\/a> that the water was making people in Flint sick. He is now under pressure to resign.<\/p>\n

#itsnottheriver<\/a><\/h3>\n

The oversight from the local and state officials is not the only thing upsetting Rebecca. \u201cI\u2019m so dismayed that the media is spreading the notion that Flint River is somehow a toxic sewer, but that\u2019s just not true at all.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rebecca has spent the last 11 years dedicated to cleaning up the Flint River after decades of industrial pollution<\/a>. The revitalized waterfront has become a source of pride for a city that lost its industry and was left with the clean-up. The river provides the community with a place for recreation, fishing, and swimming, and is a home to many species of wildlife.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn 1999 our clean water scores were fair to good, now they test good to excellent,” says Rebecca. “The water is not even ‘highly corrosive’ as reports state. It is just more corrosive than lake water. The river is taking an\u00a0unfair hit because people don\u2019t understand how water treatment works.”<\/p>\n

Lynn backs Rebecca up: “What happened in Flint is\u00a0not\u00a0the fault of the river.”<\/p>\n

“The river is taking an\u00a0unfair hit because people don\u2019t understand how water treatment works.\u201d \u2013 Rebecca Fedewa<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It’s important for many reasons that Flint River is not blamed for the incompetencies of local officials. Misinformation that the water is contaminated because of the river will not only detract from the true issue\u2014that the authorities let Flint\u2019s residents down\u2014but it will also exacerbate the social problems that the city of Flint has been undergoing.<\/p>\n

More than 40 percent of the 100,000 population of Flint live below the poverty line. Indeed, many of its residents suggest that the city ignored the possibility of lead contamination because the demographic was predominantly poor and black<\/a>. \u201cWe have a depressed real estate market as it is, and tell me, who is going to buy a house here now? I fear it will be a domino effect that will lead to greater poverty for Flint. And\u00a0stories of a toxic and polluted river only make things worse,” says Rebecca.<\/p>\n

Long-Term\u00a0Impact<\/h3>\n

Since the declared state of emergency, the city of Flint has been inundated with donations of bottled water and filters<\/a>. But now it\u2019s the long-term damage that the people of Flint need help addressing.<\/p>\n

Two weeks ago the Community Foundation of Greater Flint launched the Flint Child Health and Development Fund<\/a> that aims to provide resources after the media attention wanes. Kathi Horton, president of the foundation, says the children impacted will be facing health and educational challenges for the rest of their lives. “While the state is looking at how they will deal with those challenges, this fund will be able to offer support,\u201d she says. It has so far raised $500,000 from three thousand donors.<\/p>\n

“People can\u2019t live like this for that long. The generosity of everyone around the country has been so amazing, but we also need a sustainable solution.\u201d \u2013 Rebecca Fedewa<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Rebecca says longer-term support is imperative. \u201cIt could take two to five years for the biofilm in the pipes to reconstitute and prevent the leaching. People can\u2019t live like this for that long. The generosity of everyone around the country has been so amazing, but we also need a sustainable solution.\u201d Flint’s mayor, Karen Weaver, is suggesting it could cost as much as $1.5 billion to replace the lead pipes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Kathi says the disaster may be the opportunity for the authorities “to do right by people who have been systemically wronged. I am hoping that every level\u2014federal, state, and local\u2014will make sure these families\u00a0have whatever they need. Flint is so-called for a reason. We are tough and\u00a0we can come through this stronger and more vibrant than ever.”<\/p>\n
