Flint Michigan; Water Purification

[Festivito]

1. Flint problem is that distribution pipes corroded so they distribute bottled water.

Had Flint's state appointed emergency management seen to putting a correct mix into the water, this problem never would have happened.

The national guard is out distributing bottled water.

The correct mix would have been less acidic and would place a coating of calcium inside pipes rather than deteriorating that existing coating down to bare metal on the interior of those pipes which then as still acidic corroded the pipes leading to metals such as lead, copper, zinc, and iron to freely run through the water in large quantities that in turn combined with the Chlorine that in turn allowed bacteria to grow such as Legionella killing 9 and sickening 80 some. And, the lead went through sickening the children. And, we don't know what other bacteria might have grown and sickened people.

Back on Detroit's treated Great Lake's water from Lake Huron, the pipes can again distribute the coating over time.
