Flint’s water quality may be improving.
The Virginia Tech professor who helped uncover the lead contamination will be in Flint. Dr. Marc Edwards will be joined by other civil and environmental engineers.
Edwards says he has new testing information showing the water’s condition is getting better.
May was declared a “free water month” in Flint to promote running the taps.
People were urged to run cold water 10 minutes a day for two weeks to recoat plumbing with a corrosion chemical.
Lead pipes are still expected to be removed, but that process will take years.
People in Flint still can’t drink their water.
Edwards will also discuss the issue of Legionnaires’ disease stemming from the tainted water. Health authorities say 91 people got sick and 12 died.
