So, in the meantime, while they're deciding, what is happening to all those
children who are still being forced to drink tainted water? Because, even if
they switched back to the Detroit water system, Flint's water pipes are
already damaged and I assume that the water has to go through them and
will, therefore, be corrupted.

Governor Rick Snyder and Flint Mayor Karen Weaver met today to discuss the
city's water crisis, and the state's role in solving a problem it helped
create.
State-appointed emergency managers decided to save money by using the Flint
River for drinking water damaged pipes. That move damaged pipes and caused
lead
to leach into the water.
Following the meeting, Governor Snyder publicly apologized for a second time
for the state's role in Flint's water crisis.
"We want to work closely together to earn the trust of the people of Flint,"
he said.
Flint's mayor says it might cost as much as $1.5 billion to fix and replace
the city's old pipes.
Governor Snyder said it's too early to say how much that might cost, or how
much might be paid by the state.
But Weaver said today's meeting was a good start.
"We're working together to move things forward, and we're going to be
putting some things in place. And this is good," she said. This is a great
day for
the citizens of Flint, and I know they're excited to hear this news."
