The state of Michigan looks to provide bottled water to the citizens of Benton Harbor in light of lead contamination in the community. They hope to maintain this supply of clean water until they distribute water filters throughout Benton Harbor. Lead contamination can be extremely dangerous, and therefore it is essential that healthy drinking alternatives are available. Local officials have waited three years for the help. They question if this is sufficient.
Cyndy Roper told CBS Detroit that this small action would not be enough. The water quality issue cannot be resolved with “a swing through the community”. Once the state delivers the filters, that is where their involvement ends. Combating contamination can take years, and after the incidents in Flint, Michigan, locals are understandably uneasy. The governor hopes to net $20 million for the sake of cleaning up the water, but nothing has yet come of it.
