It is a problem because of waste from companies.

I want to know what has been done to try and fix the crisis, and what were the biggest causes of the crisis, why haven't they been able to fix it yet?

Have there been long term side effects on the people living there? Does anyone want to live there?]]> 2022-03-28 17:58:21 UTC https://padlet.com/emilyg48/r5zfs1fravml0gsr/wish/2117731268 https://padlet.com/emilyg48/r5zfs1fravml0gsr/wish/2117731308 Flint's water supply was full of lead.

They had to drink bottles of water from stores. I don't think the metal affected people if they touched it, so people could still shower.
