They are paying for it, you dolt. What should they do for showers, bathing and cooking?
Residents of the impoverished City of Flint pay some of the highest water bills in Michigan. And those bills have not stopped coming or been reduced since state and local officials acknowledged the water is unsafe to drink without filtering.

Cooking and drinking are the same. I'd find other water for those things. I already do closer to Detroit.
Showers, bathing, car washing, etc. don't require the level of purity that water for consumption does.
People have choices to make. They ought not whine when government doesn't do its promised job properly. It is an old story.
If Flint is so impoverished, then what is the reason for staying there? I wouldn't stay in Flint overnight, and I doubt you would either. GTH out!

The people in Flint shouldn't have to go elsewhere to pay for something when they are already paying for it. The government should either provide them what they are paying for or rebate any and all charges. Or alternatively provide replacement water at no cost.
And the Governor if he had any common decency would resign and/or commit suicide.

Rick Snyder is probably the most centrist Republican governor in the country, and did nothing to create the crisis in Flint. Flint city politics is one party Democratic, so blame the right people, if you must play the blame game.

Originally posted by normbenignThese are outrageous lies. Snyder put in a State overseer of the Flint local government which pressured them to change the source of their water as a cost cutting measure. The new supply was not treated with anti-corrosives like the old was and that caused damage to the pipes which led to the contaminated water.

None of that happened under the prior Governor, so stop lying; you're not fooling anyone.

Originally posted by normbenignserial killer equals woman wanting to have an abortion. is that correct?
That's an interesting position. Suppose I decide to be a serial killer with my body. Does that idea still apply?
serial killer involves you killing other people. a woman having an abortion makes a decision on a part of her body.

Originally posted by KazetNagorraSure, but it would also be more efficient if public water was of a standard fit for bathing but not necessarily for drinking or cooking. Far more water is used in baths and showers, and the extra processing to make it supposedly potable is wasted. The relatively small amount used for drinking and cooking could easily be processed at home, or purchased.
It is far less efficient for every person to take care of their own water supply.
From what I've read, the policy of public water being potable is in the long term, not going to be possible to present standards. Why wait for the next emergency?
