FLINT, MI (MPRN)-- Flint Mayor Karen Weaver hopes she’s making progress convincing state officials that their preferred method of checking for lead pipes in Flint isn’t working.
At a meeting Friday a master plumber showed city and state officials sections of partially repaired lead pipes the Hydrovac system missed.
Weaver believes he made a persuasive argument.
“He really explained it very clearly. He had several pipes to not only explain but to show. And sometimes, visuals are everything.”
State officials say the city’s wasting money digging trenches, when the Hydrovac system can inspect pipes more quickly.
