FLINT, MI Seven years after the city’s water source was switched, triggering the Flint water crisis, the fallout continues to cast its pall.
While the city expects to close out three major water infrastructure projects related to the water crisis, including the final phase of a pipe replacement program, this year, other reminders of the man-made emergency linger with no clear end in sight.
Although a partial settlement of civil lawsuits filed on behalf of Flint residents could be approved later this year, the cases are continuing against defendants that have so far refused to settle their cases, including the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

FLINT, MI Five current and former government officials charged with felony crimes related to the Flint water crisis called for preliminary hearings before their cases are heard in Genesee Circuit Court Tuesday, April 6, and a judge said she will consider their arguments before ruling on that request.
Circuit Judge Elizabeth A. Kelly heard arguments from attorneys for the five Richard Baird, Jarrod Agen, Nancy Peeler, Darnell Earley and Gerald Ambrose and Flint water prosecutors in a nearly two-hour hearing Tuesday before taking the motion to reroute the cases back to Genesee District Court under advisement.
