Volunteers distribute bottled water to help combat the effects of the crisis when the city’s drinking water became contaminated with dangerously high levels of lead in Flint A boil water advisory impacting an estimated 935,000 Michigan residents was issued early Saturday morning after a regional water authority discovered a water main break at its Lake Huron facility.
The Great Lakes Water Authority (GLWA) announced the advisory as they worked to isolate a leak on a 120-inch water transmission main, according to the water authority’s social media.
Nearly 40% of Michigan’s population receives drinking water from the GLWA, and the affected water main is the largest in the regional distribution system, the Detroit Free Press reports. (RELATED: Top Michigan Court Spikes Charges Against Ex-Gov, 8 Others In Flint Water Poisoning Scandal)
Authorities cited “changing water pressure levels” and an “abundance of caution” as reason for the advisory, GLWA said in its statement. In addition to 23 communities, one business in Greenwood and another in Imlay Township were thought to be affected at the time the advisory was announced, GLWA said.
Residents were instructed to boil all water for at least one minute and use boiled, disinfected, or bottled water for drinking, making ice, washing dishes, and brushing teeth until further notice, according to the statement. Boiling water ensures any harmful bacteria or organisms present in water are killed prior to use, the advisory detailed.

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
