Flint Crisis Has Locals Questioning Safety Of Their Water

 

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – The water crisis in Flint, Michigan has many here in Philadelphia concerned about the safety of their water.

Allen Sion refuses to drink Philadelphia tap water.
“We call it Schuylkill Punch. It’s disgusting,” Allen said. “The water’s clear, but it tastes kind of ‘sewagey’.
It’s pretty nasty.”

He relies on bottled brands, never the kind that flows freely from the Delaware and Schuylkill Rivers, which is then filtered and treated through a multi-stop process before it ever gets to you. And although many recognize Philadelphia water cannot be compared to that of Flint’s, some are still skeptical of the tap.
