It is four years since the city’s water switched to the Flint river, without lead corrosion controls, prompting the public health crisis.
In the aftermath, Flint received presidential visits, millions of dollars in donations and government aid. It is the subject of scientific studies. It has a Netflix series, Flint Town.
