Clean-water activists hope that the latest data about the high lead levels in kids could cause revival of a lawsuit against the city of Flint. The attorney for a Flint group said she will amend the complaint to force the city back to Detroit's water system.

Trachelle Young's lawsuit on behalf of the Coalition for Clean Water was dismissed earlier this month. But Young said that the new information could revive the lawsuit.

“We are working on filing an amendment. We are considering a class action. But we are not going to drop this matter until the city residents have safe, clean water that they can drink, and cook, and shower with”, she said.

Sources said Flint started to use the water from the Flint River as major sources of tap water in April of 2014 while the city transitions to a new system that will draw water from Lake Huron.

Complaints about the taste of the water and smell stated to surface early. Experts soon advised to use water after boiling, as the city tried to get on top of E. coli contamination. The city later received a violation of the Safe Drinking Water Act because of high levels of chemicals in the water.

Recently, a team of researchers found that the corrosive nature of Flint River water, coupled with the fact that the city under the supervision of the state Department of Environmental Quality) never put corrosion controls in place when the switch happened, have resulted in the water that eats away the lead in service lines and household plumbing.

"What we're saying is give us safe water until that pipeline is completed,” says Young.
