Flint city government was saying that in order to resolve the water situation, the pipes need to be flushed out and in order to do that, people in Flint need to just turn on their faucets and let it run. but the thing is, they weren't going to reimburse anyone on their water bill for doing so. so they were literally trying to get people to just let unusable water run for an extended and indeterminate amount of time thereby running up their water bill, with nothing to show for it and no compensation whatsoever. yeah, you can imagine how well that was received.
They tried to sue the government but that was quickly shut down, now some of them are getting arrested for not paying their bills while others are flat out abandoning the city for another place despite shooting their credit in the foot and few are just saying there because they have no place else to go. Lots of people got sick but since most of them are lower middle class and poor nobody really cares.
Flint MI was just a tool for the left and right to hammer each other with gotcha moments for votes for the election cycle now that it's over they both went back to not giving a fuck about Flint or the people there.
