Pontiac Businesses Collecting
Water for Flint
(Crystal A. Proxmire, Jan. 16, 2016)
Over the next two weeks a massive effort is taking place to collect bottled water to be distributed to people in Flint. The community continues to struggle without adequate water supply, even as evidence emerges of increased lead poisoning and Legionnaires disease cases are exposed.
Flint resident Lisa Covington is working with groups and businesses in Pontiac to serve as drop off sites through the end of the month. The goal is to collect 10,000 bottles of water.
Drop off locations include:
Bruce E. Turpin, DDS 160 Palmer Street
4 Brothers Lounge & Martini Bar 2 Saginaw Street
Oakland Primary Health services 46 N. Saginaw Street
WHRC 60 Parkhurst Street
Nick’s Corner 225 Auburn Ave
ITA 125 W. Montcalm.
