Congress left Washington Thursday after failing to pass any legislation that would go toward the eastern Michigan city dealing with a lead water crisis for more than two years.

Flint, Mich., a city of about 100,000 people, has been under a state and federal state of emergency since January due to the lead coming off the city’s water pipes and going into drinking water. The crisis was caused by a state-mandated switch in water sources to the corrosive Flint River, which then ate away at the old lead pipes in the city.
