FLINT, Mich. — It's now been five years, since leaders in Flint changed the water source -- a move that would expose thousands of residents to lead and begin a crisis that garnered national attention.
Officials say Flint is in good shape and they point to tests which consistently show safe lead levels in the water.
There are still lead water pipes that need to be replaced and that process could be complete by this summer.
Governor Whitmer has visited the city multiple times saying she is committed to solutions.
But some people who live there say it's tough to regain that trust.
"It's hard to trust them, I'd rather go ahead and use the bottled water and be on the safe side," says Flint resident Jacob Uherek.
After tests showed safe lead levels in Flint, Former Michigan Governor Rick Snyder ended funding for free bottled water.
"I think that's probably been our greatest challenge is reestablishing trust because we had people at every level of government, local state and federal tell us our water is fine drink up," says Flint Mayor Karen Weaver.
