Background
In 2014, the city of Flint, Michigan, began taking its municipal water from the Flint River and
treating it at the city's own water treatment plant, in order to save money. By 2015, reports surfaced of
high lead levels in Flint city water. High lead levels in municipal water can have devastating health
ramifications for a city's population, since lead is a neurotoxin that is particular dangerous for
developing brains. After Flint began treating its own water, the percentage of children with elevated
blood levels increased from 2.4% from 4.9%.
Flint's water crisis was caused by the failure to adequately control corrosion of the lead and iron
pipes that distribute water throughout the city, allowing rust and lead to taint the city's water supply.
The increased corrosiveness of the Flint-treated water was due to several factors. We will look at just
one of those factors in this activity: Failure to treat the lead with an orthophosphate (PO43-) salt. When
the water is treated with an orthophosphate salt, largely insoluble lead phosphate compounds form.
These lead phosphate compounds form part of a passivation layer, which is a mineral crust on the inside
of the pipes that protects the metal underneath from oxidizing. If the water is not adequately treated,
like in Flint, this passivation layer will deteriorate and the copper, iron, or lead underneath will leach
into the city's water supply.
