Michigan officials have known about the elevated lead levels in Benton Harbor for three years but just started distributing bottled water to residents two weeks ago. Residents say neither the city nor the state did enough to warn them of the dangers, but the state agency responsible for oversight of the water supply says they’ve been addressing the lead levels all along.

  1. Kesh my brother lives there I hope there water is not like ours. He is white though I think it isn't a me to issue. We are all in the same 🚢. ITS IRONIC water boats having issue's it is almost straight out of the book of NOAH I forget the chapter. Pehaps co.ing together for a cause would create Balance and Harmony.. God let that happen hallelujah 🙌🙏.

  2. I live in Benton Harbor. They have been charging an extra 5 dollars a month to all residents for our water bills to be put into a "reserve". Its been over 3 years an NO ONE knows what happened to that money!!!! We cannot afford to keep living like this!!!!!

  3. Why aren’t you asking our esteemed governor why she isn’t there?

  4. I’m surprised Gov Witchmer doesn’t mandate that all citizens must consume the contaminated water.

  5. It would make more sense to install two water filters in each home. While replacing the lead pipe into the home. This is a problem all across this country. Pipes installed the before 1920 was more then likely lead.

  6. This is BS< here every year the water is tested and each customers get a letter showing results. Lead pipe? Then its been a problem for decades. City is responsible for changing city water lines and property owner their pipes. The state here would have shutdown water system n lead contamination. Only time I heard of lead pipe is romans.
