Protests on Flint water taste, smell as city breaks tie to Detroit | Crain's Detroit Business:
"FLINT — Less than an hour's drive from one of Earth's great freshwater sources, some people in Flint are searching for a drop worth drinking.
Since the financially struggling city broke away from the Detroit water system last year, residents have been unhappy with the smell, taste and appearance of water from the city's river as they await the completion of a pipe to Lake Huron.
They also have raised health concerns, reporting rashes, hair loss and other problems.
A General Motors plant stopped using the water, saying it was rusting its parts.
..."Unfortunately, some of our problems aren't quickly or easily solved," said Jerry Ambrose, Flint's state-appointed emergency manager, adding that the "challenges" resulting from the temporary reliance on the river "were greater than we expected."
...Flint had long chafed at the Detroit Water & Sewerage Department's rising prices.
Flint officials estimated the cost of buying water from Detroit this year at $16 million, and the overall annual cost of switching to the new Karegnondi Water Authority would be $12.5 million."
