Dirty Water: Danger From the Tap | CNN Digital Documentary

  • It’s not just Flint, Michigan. Bad water is more widespread than you think. Aging infrastructure is leaving thousands of rural communities vulnerable to contamination with no fix in sight. CNN travels to two of them.
    Virginia Tech engineering Professor Marc Edwards watched as water flowed from a garden hose in Enterprise, Louisiana. As he moved a jar to catch a sample, the color changed from clear to brown.
    "When mine comes out, it comes out black," Enterprise resident John Tiser said as he watched Edwards work.
    Tiser, Enterprise's newly appointed water board president, was giving Edwards a tour around this rural community in central Louisiana, where residents have struggled with water problems. He says his wife drives 20 miles each direction to do laundry in a town with clear water.
    Concerned about the potential health effects for his family, including his two daughters, he ran for a seat on the local water board.
    What drives him, Tiser said, is "being sure that they're not consuming anything that 20 years from now is going to wind up hurting them."
    Years of water system neglect means that the 250-or-so residents there are left with pipes that leak more than 70% of their water into the ground, Tiser said -- all because they can't afford to fix them.
    "We're basically putting Band-Aids when we need to go to the ER. That's where we're at," he said.

    As someone from the Netherlands, this just sounds like gross dereliction of duty of the politicians who are supposedly controlling the budgeting of the water supply. Water is a basic human need, this quality is just unacceptable. Fearing the quality of my tap water is almost anathema to myself as I can always rely on my tapwater to be perfectly drinkable. My country is absolutely irrelevant on a global scale. It is for that reason that it astounds me that the US, for all its power and might, seems to be incapable of giving its own citizens this basic human requirement.

      These are disgraceful, appalling situations that should never happen. But it's not typical in the US for people to not have access to clean water. Most people do. The reason this report is important is not because most Americans live this way, it's because no American should have to live this way.

    Why can’t we as a people work all together in those communities pick up a shovel, dig up all the water pipes from the water treatment facility too all the homes affected with this problem. Then install new pipes. It might take a long time but when it’s all done it would be worth it. How do you think City infrastructures where built in the Middle Ages, with a shovel and many humans working together. There was no electricity or large energy powered mechanical trucks back then. We can do anything as a people if we where to put are minds & body’s together and get things done instead of keep blaming someone else. Especially at the “Breaking Point” when it effects us humans too live.

Flusing is only allowed if they process it correctly. It is called a water system. America does not have any norms and values, or laws to protect the standard. Even the democrats are hor hor and horripic, you may live 100 years maybe like this and then you have no workers that are healty enough to work for the very very ritch Amazons. I hear the workers have 2 or 3 jobs in a full week to be able to pay all bills. In other words, go to Canada and let the Mexican work for the ritch families. The kapitalism has gained so much of billions and trillians of dollars, the system will not change, a multi party system would help and cleanup of the current senators, there is too much influence and hired people working as respresentative of the folks and too many hired ritch sentors working in the goverment, or say it clear to the people goverment is only for law and forcement jobs, and not for infrastructure or clean water or affortable living. goverment is for jobs at the military which are send by the coorperates.

    next to no chlorine residue with a ph of 7.5 and compared to the rrilionndoler needed to replace all pipes pay a A small tax for that..
    18 euro per month to be precise.
    Everybody payes per units of people living in the house contaminating the waste water × the water used per year. To pay for cleaning the waste water that
    Goes into the sewidge systems
    wich gets filtered then goes trough basins of biofilters with bacteria cleaning the water it then gets
    sanitized fuether to regulated norms before getting pumped into rivers lakes and canals until it's naturally filtered back down into the groundwater.
    Wich then gets pumped up As close as possible to the distribution centre of that area
    and filtered and sanitized to drinking water standards.
    wich is done by a diff company. But both work under strict government oversight.
    It's a but more complex but it's late and I just wanted to say...
    Darn that's so sad that a country with So much technology progress and money the well bieng of it's citizens isn't priority nr 1. Without healty people with good educations how is America going to flourish to higher living standards, better economic growth.
    Make America great starts with safe healty happy educated people. And from what I am seeing in the news half of the population isn't safe
    mass shootings in schools and other places, cop killing black citizens , kkk white suroemacy, milions of rape and assault victems, many don't have safe drinking water like a third world country wages that keep people in poverty with 40 to 60.your work weeks..no healthcare
    how are people to flourish to be better to aim high when basic rights aren't even given.
    I don't get why not everybody is outraged and votes for reform...

      You have to understand that Americans are easy to trick with red-baiting and the fantasy of millions that are just around the corner for them (regardless of profession), so taxes cannot be that high.

      Obama didnt do much. Trump is finally bringing attention to the little guys of america. I'm glad I live in tennessee where we have great water, roads,and conservative leaders. And a great community that looks out for each other. Most of these liberal towns are the opposite like baltimore,flint,detroit,chicago,etc...

    . You people are making a joke of it, It actually began at the Dupont plant in West Virginia. 3M sold the chemical knowing it caused birth defects and cancer. Animals and a baby to a factory worker had birth defects and denied it for decades. By the time it was discovered, everyone in the World was affected, not one clean blood sample could be found. Finally, one was located and it had been donated by a young man just before he headed to the Korean war. It had never been touched. We have all been affected by the teflon/c-8/PFAs all the same chemical, Dupont never changed the chemical, they changed the name. Now our government is playing dumb about it and trying to blame the defense department for this exposure. This lawsuit of 3500 had been going on before the year 2000. Every one in the world has PFAS in their blood. CNN lying to the public. This information is widely available.

    Michael Moore is not impressed with President Barack Obama's visit to Flint today.
    Moore, the 62-year-old Flint native and documentary filmmaker, joined CNN earlier this afternoon to discuss Obama's pledge to Flint -- saying "I've got your back" while drinking a glass of filtered Flint water -- and why he's upset with that message.
    "He is just trying to reassure people that everything's okay," Moore said. "To drink from a glass of Flint water when a number of experts are still saying this water's not safe? It's still going through the same corroded lead pipes? It was such a disappointing thing to see.

    "Your clip you just showed about he hopes that Flint can get back to where it was. Where was that? You mean before the water crisis two years ago, after we'd lost 75,000 General Motors jobs? Back to then? Or are we talking about back to 20-30 years ago? I mean, Flint is a city that's really been destroyed."

    The lost General Motors jobs Moore referred to were the subject of his 1989 breakout documentary film, "Roger & Me." On April 27, Moore posted on Facebook in regards to Obama's visit to Flint, "I'm sorry to tell you your visit is too little too late"
    Today was Obama's first visit to Flint since the water crisis began two years ago, contaminating drinking water throughout the city and exposing residents to a number of dangerous health risks. Obama visited with Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder, held briefings with officials and met with Flint children.
    During the visit, he drank from a glass of what he said was filtered Flint water at the Food Bank of Eastern Michigan, vouching for the safety of certified filters and letting Flint residents know the water is "drinkable" with a filter (though he cautioned pregnant women and children under 6 to continue drinking bottled water "out of an abundance of caution").

    My house water is clear if you put it in a cup. But when you fill a tub you can clearly see that it's actually blue and smells like pool water. It actually burns my nose. And before anyone says it's copper pipes in your home. My house has pex pipes...

      @Taco caTI have city water. I live like 4 blocks from the water treatment plant. Water is drawn from reservoirs which are pumped from the city lake and a spring fed creek (during dry years). The city also has two water towers.
