In April 2014, Flint, Michigan switched its water source to the Flint River to save money. Despite immediate complaints about discolored, foul-smelling water, state and city officials insisted it was safe. Dr. Mona Hanna-Attisha's research proved blood lead levels in children had doubled. EPA scientist Marc Edwards found lead levels 10x above the action limit. Internal emails revealed officials knew about the contamination but covered it up. Criminal charges were filed against 15 officials.
