Prior to joining Scripps in 2018, she worked for her hometown paper, The Cincinnati Enquirer, where she was a photographer, reporter and videojournalist.
Just as quietly as work stopped in Flint four months ago, efforts to replace toxic pipes that carry drinking water into residents’ homes has resumed after a Scripps News investigation. The city told Scripps News Thursday its contractor – Rowe Professional Services – is leading the effort, but is doing so without a contract and without pay.
The work started again Tuesday, the city said, but was focused only on replacing the pipes at the 31 homes mandated by court order — a fraction of the hundreds of toxic service lines that still connect Flint homes to drinking water all these years later. "They're not going to get a pass on getting the rest of these lead service lines out,” Eric Oswald, director of the Drinking Water and Environmental Health Division in the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy said.
Still, all these years later, there are corroded pipes in Flint that have not been replaced. The city told Scripps News it’s committed to doing the rest of the work as soon as it can find more money.
