The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) knew about the problems that led to Flint, Mich.’s, drinking water crisis in April of last year.

The head of the EPA’s region that includes Michigan told the Detroit News that her agency warned state officials of possible corrosion problems in April.

Those problems have now turned to an all-out emergency, since the corrosiveness of the drinking water has caused lead from pipes to leach into the water, making it harmful to drink.
