FLINT, Mich. – January 27, 2015 – (RealEstateRama) — In just over a two-week time period, 176,118 cases of water and 93,048 water filters have been provided to Flint residents, both at water resource sites and by water response teams.

Water response teams comprised of city, county and state personnel, American Red Cross and volunteers continued their door-to-door efforts, today visiting another 2,596 homes providing free bottled water, filters, water replacement cartridges and water testing kits.
