The timing made it even worse when just days before bottled water distribution ended in the city.
That’s why Noise said she just can’t bring herself to trust the tap and relies strictly on bottled water, something the state stopped providing Flint over a month ago.
Nestle has agreed to deliver three semi-truck loads of water a week, that’s about 100,000 bottles of water.
The cases will be distributed by volunteers at help centers across the city on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays.
“Our goal is to operate sustainability,” said Jason Manshum, who works with Nestle waters.
“To be able to provide people with healthy hydration and in communities like Flint where it’s desperately needed.
We are happy we can help to contribute.” Flint Mayor Karen said with the state backing out before all the lead service lines have been replaced, getting a company like Nestle to help out has been a godsend.
“We’re thankful for this because we’re still in need of the bottled water as we get through this service line replacement.” Noise said she truly appreciates Nestle, local churches, and city leaders for this safe drinking water but really just wants one thing.
“Please, please get our water fixed,” Noise said.
