FLINT, Mich. — Flint officials, along with Michigan and federal officials, say the most recent test results show the level of lead in the city’s water is dropping.

Officials also told a town hall meeting Wednesday that chlorine residuals have become “excellent” and that bacteria issues have become almost non-existent.

However, despite the improved water quality, there was no call for an end to bottled water distribution or removal of faucet filters.

Several people interrupted the meeting, saying they didn’t believe the water safety claims.
