Residents of Flint, Michigan, are facing yet another issue with the city's embattled water system.
Crews have been able to locate the damaged 24-inch transmission line and begin repairs, officials said. A public notice said that officials anticipate the repairs, flushing, and necessary testing will continue at least through Monday, meaning the city's over 80,000 residents will be left boiling filtered water or using bottled water through the weekend.A Facebook post from the City of Flint described the boil water advisory as a "precaution.
"As the City of Flint continues to upgrade our water infrastructure, we need to keep in mind that the integrity of our infrastructure is uneven," Department of Public Works Director Mike Brown said. "Some of it is state of the art, and some of it is very old." To maintain water service, Flint increased the amount of water it receives from the Great Lakes Water Authority and Genesee County Drain Commission.Carlos Osorio/AP, FILE
