The mayor of Flint, Michigan, announced the city will suspend billing for water services to residents exposed to lead poisoning, NBC News reported.
Flint Mayor Karen Weaver said the city is trying to get a program underway that will help affected residents. Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder approved a $30 million plan to help Flint residents with water bills.
The city’s more than 99,000 residents have been told not to use unfiltered tap water after the municipality switched to the Flint River as a water source, exposing them to high levels of lead.
