(WXYZ) - We are exposing the hidden truth behind the Flint Water Crisis. A man made disaster that began with misleading statements about the cost of clean water.

Flint's former mayor and others tell us they made a choice to support switching off Detroit's system to save money, but citizens tell another story.

We're investigating what really happened and who failed to keep citizens health and safety a top priority. We're also asking how this all could have been avoided to begin with.
