Residents of the American city of Flint, Michigan, have taken to social media to vent their anger on city authorities for deceiving them about the safeness of running water in the city.
According to residents, despite the overwhelming evidence that their water has been contaminated with lead, city authorities continued to urge them that there was nothing wrong with it.
BBC reports that the city’s water became contaminated after a change in supplier in 2014. Corrosive water leached lead from old pipes into the water supply. President Barack Obama has declared a state of emergency in the city.
