Flint Residents Don't Want to Drink Filtered Tap Water

By April 2016 additives had been introduced to the Flint River water that would quote rescale the corroded pipes. However, that treated water was not making its way into the pipes because the Flint residents were not using it. Governor Snyder publicly encouraged Flint residents to start using the tap water with a filter so that the pipes could be repaired. According to Detroit Free Press he was told by a state official that Flint residents wanted him to start drinking the tap water first. But Snyder's 30 day pledge of drinking filtered tap water did not impress the residents of Flint including Mayor Weaver.
