A few months ago, the man-made water disaster finally blew up in Flint and on the media, after almost two years of struggle. Although bottled water was finally delivered to residents in January, what has taken place in Flint can no longer be swept under the carpet. For almost two years, state officials were well aware of the deplorable state of Flint’s water system. Instead of warning the people, they chose to endorse lead-poisoned water as healthy so they could keep more money for themselves.

But while everyone’s been focusing on Flint, several other cities in Michigan are showing even higher levels of lead contamination in the water. With no one to hold responsible, it seems that the crisis in Flint is just about to repeat itself.

Other areas of Michigan are doing even worse

In Flint, Dr. Mona Hanna-Attisha discovered that up to 6.3% of children had lead in their blood, but the situation is even worse throughout the rest of Michigan. In 2014, 7,000 children were tested in Highland Park, Hamtramck and Detroit, and 13.5% of them tested positive for lead contamination. The situation was just as hazardous in Grand Rapids, where 10% of tested children showed high levels of lead in their blood. In Adrian and south-central Michigan, the percentage rose to 12%. Other cities facing a similar crisis in Michigan include Jackson, Saginaw, Muskegon and Holland.
