The correct answer is:
b) Because the water pumped to their homes from the Flint River was NONPOTABLE.
The Flint Water Crisis occurred when the city's water supply was switched to the Flint River in 2014 without proper treatment, leading to the leaching of lead and other contaminants from aging pipes into the drinking water. This resulted in serious health problems for residents, including lead poisoning, which significantly affected children and vulnerable populations. The water was deemed nonpotable due to these hazardous levels of contaminants.
