Effort to replace pipes to Flint homes off to slow start

FLINT, Mich. (AP) — Drinkable unfiltered tap water for residents in Flint might still be a few years away.

Retired National Guard Brig. Gen. Michael McDaniel, who is heading  the pipe replacement program, says he has an optimistic goal of 2019 for  all lead piping to be replaced in the neighborhoods.

McDaniel says pipe replacements are expected to pick up in late  April. Construction crews are replacing the old lead lines with new  copper ones in neighborhoods most affected.
