My giant. A leading researcher on lead contamination says the water emergency in flint, michigan is far from over. An 8month long study finds the water in the city remains unsafe to drink. But there are some improvements. The water crisis in flint has been the topic of numerous congressional hearings. Craig boswell reports from capitol hill. Reporter Virginia Tech<\/a> professor mark edwars say edwards says the water in flint, michigan, still contains dangerously high lead levels and is dangerous to drink. No one should be drinking unfiltered flint water. Reporter edwards and his team retested the water in march. After they switched back in lake huron. They compared the new water samples, where the flint river is the main source. Lead levels decreased but remained standards. For that reason, people have to continue using bottled water in filters, until further notice. Reporter flint now has Corrosion Control<\/a> chemicals, added to its pipe, to prevent lead from forming. But edwards says people are running the water and not allowing the faucets to run enough to let it to work. As a result, the delivery of this cure, which needs to flow through the water, in some homes, its just not happening. Reporter edwards said that process of cleaning out lead deposits could take up to two years. And he called on congress to help the flint families recover. This congress has demonstrated a lack of willingness to spend money on even the most essential elements of a civil society. Reporter the Virginia Tech<\/a> study says the water can be used for bathing and showering, and new samples will be taken later this summer, for a new round of testing. Craig boswell.
