A mobile app and website built for the city of Flint is available now to help the community and government agencies manage the ongoing water crisis.
Mywater-Flint, for Android and online at Mywater-flint.com, was developed by computer science researchers at the University of Michigan’s Flint and Ann Arbor campuses and funded by Google.org. Through it, residents and city employees can:
- Access a citywide map of where lead has been found in drinking water.
- Discover where service line workers have replaced infrastructure that connects. homes to the water main, and where they’re currently working.
- Locate the nearest distribution centers for water and water filters.
- Find step-by-step instructions for water testing.
- Determine the likelihood that the water in a home or another location is contaminated, among other features.
