PROBLEM: Flint families are now facing a health crisis due to lead poisoning along with the #legionnaires outbreak. They no longer trust their water nor gov't. How can they trust a system that seems to care more about their reputation than the safety of its people?@39CSustain

The act plans to contribute over $35 billion annually to water infrastructure and the creation of jobs in this field.

[Kile Kropko @kropkodile]

PROBLEM: Several US cities, such as Flint, are not able to receive a sustainable source of water due to faulty infrastructure in lower income communities, as well as neglect from the state and local governments. @39CSustain

[Kile Kropko @kropkodile]

PLAN: All while creating jobs, this act has the plan of action to designate workers in the field of treating water and construction. https://t.co/YE0nCKjXRK

The main flaw and roadblock that I have identified in this bill is regarding the pressing question: where is the money going to come from? Increased tax dollars? A water tax? As the saying goes, "There is no such thing as a free lunch."

A piece of legislation recently introduced by Keith Ellison (the WATER Act) could provide the necessary funding to ensure safe drinking water for the entire country for generations to come. Is it feasible? Watch below ⬇️ https://t.co/6knTjMbU1x

[Keith Ellison @keithellison]

Today marks the four-year anniversary of the crisis in Flint, but the reality is water infrastructure around the country has been neglected for decades. That's why, today, I'm introducing the WATER Act to guarantee clean water for all.

[Rep. Dan Kildee @RepDanKildee]

Four years later, Flint families are still recovering from the water crisis and having to use filters & bottled water. In the richest country in the world, clean drinking water should be a basic human right. #DontForgetFlint

This 2011 article details the failing US auto industry of the 1980s & the resulting failure of urban planning in Flint Michigan. Evidence that the water crisis problem was just another jab at the "Vechicle City."

A couple weeks after water conglomerate Nestle gets a permit approved in Michigan to draw more fresh water for its not-free plastic water bottles, the free distribution of bottled water stops. Coincidence? #FlintWaterCrisis Residents, pls contact to comment: [email protected]

Instead of building a damn wall, build a damn water system that doesn’t poison American citizens.

@39CSustain Urban planning failures display the build up that acted as a precursor to the infamous #FlintWaterCrisis

The state of Michigan will pay $4.1 million for health screenings Flint residents aging from 0 to 25. Could this be a step in the right direction? @39CSustain #FlintWaterCrisis

[Kile Kropko @kropkodile]

@39CSustain this form of taking action goes to show that the #FlintWaterCrisis is far from over, and the citizens are still in dire need of a sustained and reliable source of water. There are ways to help! https://t.co/ZCRucZ0i3B

[Mari Copeny @LittleMissFlint]

Here is a way to help #Flint get clean water. Please donate. Our plan is to bring in semi's with water. Every dollar donates 11 bottles of water to Flint.

Instead of investing in public water as a public good, Michigan is subsidizing private water.

The juxtaposition to #FlintWaterCrisis, where kids were harmed by austerity and neglect, is infuriating. https://t.co/G7WjRamfCX
