Listen to audio from the event:
Since Flint switched its drinking water source from Detroit's water system to getting water from the Flint River, Flint residents have endured numerous problems...including water that was discolored and smelled and had high lead levels. The city has switched back to Detroit's water supply, but questions about the long term impact from the water crisis remain.
Michigan Radio's Jack Lessenberry hosted this discussion on the latest on Flint's water situation.
