Bloomberg paints grim picture of city still gripped in crisis

The international news agency just published a report painting a negative picture of the city.
Edwards is like a lot of Flint residents – frustrated she still has to pick up bottled water just to take care of basic needs.
Researchers said the water quality is continuing to improve, but Reed Williams said that’s not the case at his home.
"It’s still reading with the parts per million with the lead above what it should be. So we’re still having to pick up water," Williams said.
In their article "Flint’s River of Poison," Bloomberg said the people of Flint are still suffering.
Having to always use bottled water and run everything through filters can be a hassle," Williams said.
You know, we’re still doing all of those things," Weaver said.
Weaver’s goal is to have safe water to drink from the tap without filters. That’s hard to imagine for people who have lived on bottled water for so long, but they are not giving up on Weaver’s goal.
