Memo dated Jan 7, 2015 (screencap in article)
The city of Flint recently sent out the attached notice regarding violations to the drinking water standards. While the city of Flint states that corrective actions are not necessary, DMTB [Michigan Department of Technology, Management & Budget] is in the process of providing a water cooler on each occupied floor, positioned near the water fountain, so you can choose which water to drink. The coolers will arrive today and will be provided as long as the public water does not meet treatment requirements.
For those who are counting, that's eight months before the State agreed that Flint had a water problem.
But concerns raised over water quality were enough for officials in the state’s capitol of Lansing to decide to give state employees the option to drink bottled water from coolers, rather than from water fountains. Coolers were placed next to the fountains on each occupied floor, according to the documents, and were to be provided “as long as the public water does not meet treatment requirements.”
