"In 2014, in a city with no
democracy, forced under an emergency manager handpicked by Governor Snyder, a
decision was made to switch the water source without the proper testing and
enforcement of regulation."
"I decided we need[ed] to
get to the science if anyone was ever going to believe us...I started doing
independent testing with Virginia Tech, and 30 tests were done -- tests that
were performed in accordance to the [Lead and Copper Rule]. My average was 2500
parts per billion. My highest was 13,500 parts per billion. Hazardous waste is
5,000. Regardless of this information and the fact that my son had lead
poisoning, the city...continued to tell everyone the water was safe, as the EPA
sat by and watched in silence."
