Spoilers ahead
On April 25, 2014, the city of Flint, Michigan, made a controversial decision to alter its water supply, shifting from the reliable source of the Detroit Water and Sewerage Department—known for its clean water sourced from Lake Huron and the Detroit River—to the potentially toxic Flint River, all in a bid to save money during the construction of the Karegnondi water pipeline. This transition was marked by a ceremony attended by Mayor Dayne Walling, who inaugurated the river’s water treatment facility, unaware of the dire consequences that would soon follow.
