#Lead contaminated water, that's what happened
"The inspector’s reading of the Walter home found that the water contained lead levels at 104 parts per billion (ppb) – anything over 15 ppb is considered unsafe by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). When they tested the water again in March 2015, they found it had lead levels of 397 ppb"
Highly corrosive water from Detroit (damaged pipes and made water even worse
"The water from the Flint river was highly corrosive and therefore damaged the lead pipes that it flowed through, but officials did not implement corrosion control to prevent lead from leaching into the water"
Health effects of such an occurrence are multi-fold (children are most affected).
Situation: At this moment, drinking water are turned off at schools and universities. People are hunting for bottled water. They don't drink from the taps anywhere. They don't swim in their pools. They are anxious and are worried.
Solution: filters, filters, filters. Simple filters (to get rid of mechanical nasties), more complex (to clean and ionize water), ideal (mechanical filter, ionizing water and mineralizing it the natural way)
