I can give you a link BUT cannot recommend nor suggest it's truthfulness ..given the lies/mis-informations often proclaimed by such systems...So just take this for what it's worth!!

https://www.freshwatersystems.com/s-...-in-water.aspx

There includes testings ..ranging in costs

I sure wish you luck..BUT in reality IF you live within the Flint Mich. area affected ..such costs should be refundable....however..if you just want to protect yourself..especially if have no idea just where you water is coming from..then it's on you..cost wise....I did that back over 20 years ago..in my getaway Trailer..which water came from wells..So added filtration to incoming water to trailer as well as faucet filtrations....Not that I am paranoid..Just being proactive..LOL

The one below is the most expensive filtration system ~~

This is funny. The Governor's office has now changed its relationship with Michigan Radio, apparently because of their non stop coverage of this issue.

Well, I couldn't really put myself in HIS shoes so I took an instance where I might be in trouble and would spend whatever it takes to make sure I am in the LEAST trouble possible. That means getting quality advisors and legal help. I believe anyone in his position, guilty or not guilty, would not simply open the yellow pages to find an attorney/public relations firm. Especially if they have the $$$.

He's the Governor. If he needs the advice of counsel, he should probably resign. If there's even the slightest inkling that he did something this greviously wrong, he should just be out with it and face the piper. People are sick, kids are brain damaged, it's the most disgusting situation you can imagine. A stint in prison is the least he could do to make up just a small portion of the damage he oversaw under his watch. Confess, take your lumps, do your time, let God sort out the details later and just hope and pray that the people you affected will be able to be taken care of by healthcare professionals.

Great post! I totally agree with your statements. Snyder can't fix any of this, not really. How do you compensate whole families whose health has been this severely damaged? The whole thing is just terrible.

And all of Snyder's statements about staying in office and trying to fix this just ring hollow. It's like listening to a drug addict who was high and just killed an entire family in a car crash, wanting to make things right. Your heartfelt guilt "might" be appreciated, but that does not exonerate you from doing the time for doing the crime.

Snyder's high class birthday bash for his wife pretty much reveal where his values are. Sadly, I just don't think he cares much about any of the people who were poisoned.

I actually truly believe that deep down he thinks he's getting a raw deal out of this. He feels like he and his Emergency Managers came in to "rescue" Flint, but Flint (democrats) screwed it all up, and "this is the thanks I get." Obviously his advisers and his high powered Mercury LLC PR team is telling him to never say those things out loud, but I'd bet my last $Million that he thinks he's getting blamed for everyone else's screwups. Except that he very much had his hands in this mess, and he knows there's an email trail that would burn him down if it ever gets out. His sleepless nights are more related to what will happen if he ever gets caught than they are related to poisoned citizens.

It will only take one person though from his staff to quit and then blow the whistle on everything. I have my bets on a couple of people... Will they be protected by the Whisteblower laws, or will Snyder repeal those and go after them?
