The change in water quality in Flint occurred when the city switched its water sources from the Detroit water system to the Flint River. This decision was made as a cost-saving measure while the new pipeline to a different water source was being constructed. Unfortunately, the Flint River water was not treated properly, leading to leaching of lead from aging pipes and resulting in significant health issues for residents.
