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.

The drive at Calvary Orlando Church in Winter Park was coordinated by Cox Media Group Orlando, Florida Conference of Seventh-day Adventists and Florida Hospital, which has had emergency physicians on the island more than a week assisting local physicians in the aftermath of Hurricane Maria.
Donations include 40,000 prepackaged meals, bottled water and baby supplies. They’ll be delivered to Puerto Rico this week.
“Puerto Rico has suffered the impact of two major hurricanes, and as a result now they’re facing life-threatening situations. The need is unimaginable, and as Central Floridians we need to do all we can to help our brothers and sisters on the island,” said Daryl Tol, president and CEO of Florida Hospital and Central Florida Division – Adventist Health System.
“(N)ot only have people on the island been impacted by this historic storm, but so have their loved ones locally,” said Paul Curran, market vice president for CMG Orlando.

On the most recent occasion at the 23rd Annual Water/Wastewater Association Conference in Nassau, Bahamas, in 2014, piped water delivered by the National Water Commission (NWC) was declared to be of the highest standard and close to some bottled water based on standards, including coloration, taste, chlorine content, and sedimentation.
But addressing a Gleaner Editors’ Forum last Thursday, JET noted that the country continues to operate with The Interim Jamaica Drinking Water Standard (I-JAM) of 1982, which was never entrenched in any law or regulation.
"The question to be asked is why our government agencies seem to be just living in this state of inertia. argued Diana McCaulay, executive director of JET.
McCaulay was providing details of the findings of the review of the legal and policy framework for air and water quality in the island.
"There are things like pesticides, hormones from drugs that are discharged into the sewage system that get into the water supply.
So many of the pollutants would be absorbed in the aquifers; but that has never been tested," said Greenaway.
"The Water Commission seems to analyse its inflow of water, its source water for a few parameters once a year or so, and then they analyse the treated water for coliform (bacteria) and residual chlorine, but nothing else," he said, listing a range of other harmful pollutants for which tests should be run.

MAHOMET, Ill. (WCIA) — A natural gas leak in December has left families depending on bottled water.
After it contaminated five wells in Mahomet, those families are still worried.
People’s gas says they’ve tested the methane from the leak.
"They rely on that well water for drinking water, to run their dishwashers to clean their clothes.
It’s something the homeowners think has gone on too long; but, People’s Gas says the nature gas will dissipate over time and they believe they’ve done the initial work to fix the problem, so what homeowners are seeing now is natural.
"There is a lot of natural occurring methane especially in that region," says People’s Gas, Brian Manthey.
"I’m glad that they do so we don’t get sick over it and what not because I do drink the well water. A lot of people don’t but I do," says Richard Ponton of Mahomet.
Since Ponton received notice, People’s Gas says it has taken several other steps since the leak.
"With the separators in the home, it’s separating the natural gas out so the water that they are getting does not contain the natural gas.

CROW AGENCY — Crews of Crow Tribe employees worked into the night Wednesday and again Thursday morning to deliver trailer-loads of bottled water to homes in Crow Agency, where the municipal water supply has been shut down after a break-in at the water treatment plant.
The tribe’s chairman, A.J. Not Afraid, declared a state of emergency Wednesday after workers at the water treatment facility discovered the plant had been broken into overnight and much of its contents had been destroyed.
The shutdown applies to about 1,600 residents in the city, said Candy Felicia, who is the director of the Crow Tribe’s Water Authority.
"The main thing is we’ve got to get all this equipment replaced.
But an adjacent water treatment plant managed by the Bureau of Indian Affairs was unaffected, and he said it would be able to temporarily satisfy demand.
A suspect was taken into custody at some point on Wednesday in connection with the break-in, according to Jared Stewart, a media liaison for Not Afraid.
A shotgun appeared to have been fired through the window of a door into a small, adjoining building in the back of the plant, where bullet holes riddled the regulator on a tank of chlorine used to treat water, as well as the wall behind it. The chlorine tank itself was not damaged, McComb said.
Much of the equipment inside the facility had also been burned and shot, said Tanner Black Eagle, the lead operator at the plant who was among the employees to see the damage firsthand when he arrived at work Wednesday.

City officials said due to the problems authorities have encountered, people will not be allowed to sell water bottles next year on city property around Saratoga Race Course.
During Tuesday night’s City Council meeting, Commissioner of Public Safety Chris Mathiesen explained the history behind water bottles being sold on city property around the outside of the track.
But over the past several years, the code enforcement and police departments have seen the selling of water bottles turn into a problem.
“This past season I feel was the straw that broke the camel’s back for code enforcement,” wrote Jack Donnelly, code enforcer, in a letter Mathiesen read Tuesday night.
“Over the past several years an increasing number of individuals have been selling bottled water on city streets and sidewalks in the area of the race track during the thoroughbred racing meet,” the statement read.
“Police and code enforcement have attempted to negotiate with people involved in this activity in a reasonable manner, however the situation has been a drain on the resources of both police and code enforcement who spend a considerable amount of time this past racing season moderating people involved and mediating their disputes over what amounts to an activity that is in violation of the city’s ordinances already,” the letter read.
“If there’s a way to legally do it and could be enforced, I would say that the next council should probably take a look at that,” said Madigan.

Chemours has been directed by the state to provide bottled water to seven more well owners near the company’s Fayetteville Works facility and the General Assembly has overridden a Gov. Roy Cooper veto on GenX legislation.
Last week, the state directed Chemours to provide bottled water to eight well owners.
In Raleigh on Wednesday, lawmakers overrode Cooper’s veto of a wide-ranging environmental bill that provides a little money — but not enough according to the governor — to address the little-studied chemical discharged into the Cape Fear River.
Returning to Raleigh for the third time since completing their primary annual work session in June, the Republican-controlled state House and Senate voted separately to approve the measure over Cooper’s objections.
Chemours discharged the chemical for years into the river until recently.
The bill “does not take any protections of our rivers and streams away,” Yarborough said before the House’s 70-44 override vote. “The governor’s veto does nothing to affect that situation.” With no debate, the Senate voted 30-9 for the override.
With Wednesday’s votes, the legislature had overridden eight of them.
A House committee approved a new measure Wednesday morning that contains the Guilford County pilot but is written in a way so that the measure isn’t subject to Cooper’s veto stamp.

The water fountains at Manatee High School were covered with plastic bags Wednesday, and there was bottled water just about everywhere you looked.
Manatee High is one of 10 schools in the School District of Manatee currently under a boil water caution, imposed upon all city of Bradenton residents through Thursday.
Mulling’s school came to the rescue, providing her with bottled water that she took home, at least to use to brush her teeth.
While Manatee was the only high school in the district under the caution, eight elementary schools under the boil alert had either bagged up or turned off their water fountains as had one middle school — Sugg.
Also under the caution are the downtown school board building and The Robert G. Matzke Support Center, said Regina Thoma, director of food services for the district.
“The principals at the schools are deciding whether to hand out water outside of the cafeteria,” Thoma said.
“I got a couple of water bottles from school and we had more bottles at home from hurricane preparation,” Mulling said.
Students who were heading home were told by Underhill they should not drink the water at their homes.
“We made the same announcement at 2:15 p.m. before they went home,” Underhill said.

Voryann Howerton was brushing her teeth Tuesday morning when she noticed something odd about the water running from her tap — it was muddy.
And Howerton was among the roughly 250 Danville water customers affected. The break prompted a boil water advisory for the Southwyck Farms area off South Main Street.
City officials advised customers to use boiled or bottled water for drinking, beverage and food preparation, and making ice until further notice.
They replaced a part of the 8-inch water pipe that runs along that road.
Fluctuations in temperature — with morning temps in the 40s and afternoon numbers in the 70s and 80s — can cause underground pipes to contract and lead to breaks.
Breaks happen occasionally in the fall and spring months, and have occurred in years past.
Bottled water is another option.
Those who cannot boil their water can use liquid household bleach to disinfect it.
“I’m not going to use that water to cook with,” Howerton said.

After Hurricane Maria came ashore as a catastrophic Category 4 hurricane in September, Vasquez, who lives in New York City, is tending to their needs.
Even though President Donald Trump tweeted days ago that all buildings have been inspected, Vasquez told ABC News’ David Muir that she had not yet seen inspectors at her parents’ fourth-floor apartment or in the building.
Inside the tiny apartment, the windows have been blown out by the hurricane.
On the same day Muir was there, a doctor visited their apartment.
"I had a piece of bread, half of bread, and I shared it with like four apartments.
Down the hallway from Vasquez’s parents lives 70-year-old Maria Diaz, with whom Vasquez shares her bread and water.
Diaz told Muir that she was drinking the tap water even though she knew it was not safe.
Only 47 percent of the island’s water customers have access to potable water, according to the office of Puerto Rico’s governor, and just 7 percent of the island has power back.
There’s a lot of people here that don’t have family, don’t have no one to take them a bottle of water, or anything to drink."
