How much lead do fish safely swim in?  Any comments?

Yeah I've been wondering if anyone here has been having fish issues because of the problems in Flint.

Don't get me started.....
Fish are fine until they die...I live by the buy-they live or die trial method. I guess what keeps living is tuff. But low birthrate or none at all. Best I'll be able to do...for the time being.  Until the whole water system is replaced. As for now I need to replace the faucets in the kitchen and bathroom that are leaking because of the corrosion...faucets are only about 5 years old.    Ryan you're more in Burtucky than Flint ...so you're better off...lucky you. And the crime rate is down. Today, the National Guard came by and gave out bottled water. And now I've be told there's been a recall on bottled water due to it being contaminated with poop...  Now to check on that.

Actually Mike, I live in flint township.  I also live on a well.  Ground water could be contaminated next.  I didn't  hear about the bottle water recall.  The powers that control water are trying  to kill us Flintstones.

I've looked into the bottle water contamination.....What brought the panic on was the brand of water that the National Guard was giving out, was the brand Niagara that had been recalled for contamination in 2015 around June. I found out that the bottled water being given out bottled by Niagara is new and is safe. So no worries.

Ryan you are lucky you're on a well. Don't let anyone from Flint Township hear you saying it's Flint. They'll hang you. If you remember a short while ago...the powers that be in Flint Township...tried to change the name to something else....So they would not be associated or confused with Flint in any form or matter. Because of Flint being a "Hole". But was denied by the State...Some people are still pretty upset about that.
