Flint will be responsible for replacing lead and galvanized-steel lines that bring water into homes. While under the control of state-appointed financial managers, the city tapped the Flint River as its water source while a new pipeline was being built to Lake Huron. But the river water wasn't treated to reduce corrosion. Residents who get new water lines will be urged to continue using a filter for six months. There will be tests for lead in the Flint system every six months until one year after the replacement of water lines.
