Flint Water Crisis: A Decade of Deceit and Distrust

Ten years after the Flint water crisis began, residents continue to grapple with health issues and mistrust in government assurances of water safety.

A decade after the Flint water crisis, residents still report health problems and distrust of water safety, despite official claims of compliance with safety standards.
Investigations reveal that state officials knew of the risks before switching Flint's water source, yet misleading information was propagated.
Journalistic efforts and resident advocacy have been crucial in unveiling the truth and pushing for accountability and improvements.
Flint's water now meets legal safety standards, but ongoing concerns and infrastructure issues keep trust low.
Community efforts like the Flint Registry help track the crisis's long-term impacts, aiding in ongoing recovery and support.
