Summary
During public comment, Michelle Y. asked a city water lab employee whether residents and building workers can drink tap water without filters and requested an update on how many pipes have been replaced; the transcript does not record a response.
Michelle Y., a resident, asked a city water laboratory employee whether Flint City tap water is safe to drink without a filter and requested an update on how many pipes have been replaced.
Addressing "Candace," whom she identified as someone who works with the water lab, Michelle asked: "Candace, in your professional opinion, professionally speaking with the water working with the water lab, I would like to know if you think that all citizens here and throughout the city, can we drink from the water, tap water without a filter?" She followed by asking for an update on the number of pipes replaced.
The provided transcript does not include a recorded answer from Candace or other city staff. Michelle also asked whether people who work in the building could drink from the hallway water without using the filter, stating: "In your professional opinion ... can the people that work here drink without using that filter filter water in the hallway?"
No formal water-safety assessment, data on contaminants, replacement counts, or staff directions appear in the transcript excerpt. As a result, the scope of pipe replacement and any advisories about filter use are not specified in the record provided.
Michelle concluded her remarks by asking for an update on pipe replacements; the transcript does not show whether staff committed to providing that information at a later time.
