State testing has shown Flint’s water supply has passed federal standards for nearly two years.
Officials say there is less than a week’s worth of bottled water left to distribute, but the supply might dwindle faster as residents react to the news.
Flint’s water supply was switched from Lake Huron to the Flint River in 2014.
But a lack of proper water treatment caused dangerous levels of lead to get into the water.
Residents, including children, had toxic amounts of lead in their blood.
At least 12 people died of Legionnaires’ disease.
