Water Assurance - A Step in Safeguarding Against Lead

3/28/2017

Over the past few months, we’ve gotten our water assurance program up and running. This program offers under the sink 3M filters, replacement faucets, and shower heads for Flint homeowners with positive lead tests. We also provide shower filters to any Flint resident. Since February, we’ve completed twenty-seven preliminary site visits for homeowners applying to the full program. On these visits we’ve installed shower filters and distributed water test kits. We have distributed a total of ninety shower filters, including those installed on site visits. In addition to the filters, we’ve been able to provide four homeowners with new water heaters. As homeowners complete the application process, we will soon begin full installations of under the sink filters and faucets.
