First they drew all the times they use water in a day. Then they made filters, talked about the lead issue, and wrote letters to the governor. Read some of their letters here:
We will also be sending a link of this post and the letters to Susan Hedman at EPA Region 5 and to Peter Grevatt at EPA Headquarters in Washington D.C.. EPA has been working hand in hand with MDEQ on the Flint water issue since at least February 2015:
