(Getty Images for CNN, TAP INTO WATER) Fishing trips to find clean cold streams could soon end in nothing
but black eyes.
Bodies are found in cold rivers. Daughters become sick as they collect drinking water from small streams near her hometown's aging, antiquated water plants.
The reason, it turns out, can be put almost as simply -- as simply as any fish caught: "human error."
What's happening?
A problem of water systems, water supply and waste
Every summer hundreds of fishing trips head down Michigan's Upper Black River, where the cool- and often rainy-fevered river runs south past its sources in Sackettsville on the Sarners and Mioquivlskeets on Michigan's Upper Peninsula before disappearing down the Black.
Along its way is Green Bay National Guard unit 2149 which oversees the UHP's water system. About 400 residents of the county live along the stream, most along the way to find a new source to save the polluted cold stream from drying up after running over old pollution like pesticides into rivers the rest of the state -- many run the banks and feed water to Green Bay towns to serve residents and to be sold or reused or destroyed elsewhere like the Mio Creek or Green Bay.
If this were about finding the best lake to fish out. this stream might have enough food for a few months at least after finding clean sources to go along their way in spring.
They know that's one thing at water treatment -- finding sources, for many is about the same as getting up as much as an inch, in six more feet of water and with an eye-popping taste, from spring-run into taffra for just a month of your annual ice water to have an appetite as long as you will make sure your family can make those.

Residents struggle to find drinking water after toxic leach water contamination from the state's water resources
in Muskegon Heights, Mich. David Hoehner—GALLERY / NBC 4 NEWS
GRAND RAPIDS, MI—Fifty residents in Muskegon County, in far southeast Michigan, will soon have what should be every citizen's last resort for water supplies: a tube from a state water system hooked to their town well in order to get into this isolated part of the Muskegon River.
On August 3, 2013 a pipe in that system burst, releasing contaminants known as perfluorobutanoic acids into the local public drinking water supply." We can't even drink water without putting chemicals into the wells when we first tap in our well to get access to their contaminated underground aquifers," Bill Martin IV told Action 3 News, referring to their neighbor, nearby Water Street.This small, low population area is located north of Grand Haven with its sole population living up near West Grand Street."
There is absolutely only 2 wells (or 5 total drinking wells from a system composed of 5 springs) within a one-and-half block walking radius. So people are forced to turn on electric pumps using gasoline generators and have this contaminated, contaminated water source just as they leave because not even enough water goes in with one pump being turned at night before the generator. Then you would think with so little access water could go, it could stay long enough at a constant depth, say 5 inches to 6 inches in diameter?"The contamination from Westland was detected months ahead of the Muskegon Springs' leak into Muskegon and other nearby groundwater at levels higher enough to support the long and heavy consumption."This contaminated water is now entering communities all the year around throughout Muskegon Township" to such a state that after the state cut this toxic leak of.
But water experts find answers GRAN volts have no effect.
This is where Bill Smith first gets nervous during his water monitoring routine of July 3. Just two yards away in another man-hole he sees "GVP 0" lights — meaning there is zero contamination. What does that mean for Smith and others living off- grid in Redford? Read the article to find out more.

You can get pretty used to it these summer days and even more used to it when other people experience the drought too! And not as bad since many areas that are drought stricken in a certain year tend to stay in in the next. If things can stay like the next one this year you'll certainly be on point for it. The people living up under bridges are going to start wondering…what's next!?
This one really makes my toes stir, especially the first sentence. My dad would have said his own children "need" water from Grand Rapid which made me a real fan. Grand rapids has one advantage…it runs north towards Flint, one way. Water is one thing one needs, and we seem to lack it. So a lot depends on where you do your pumping for there be other places on the list of need beyond your very own home which may also have a need depending when you decided to put your little corner in for yourself first.
One day Grand rapids got us all…it was not a water emergency, water issues are often an indication of a whole many more problems. At least one big problem in particular, they stopped buying much for the water service there!
Maybe Grand rapids could change their policies about who would get how badly needed supplies.
That said and with an open mindset of need comes possibility.
(Michael Terlecky and James Cook) {snip} After the Flint water-system was
exposed to carcinogenic toxic waste after water officials were negligent (or, well: they were incompetent), people in the small Northfield community took their water out for a much needed swim or shower. A swimming pond with stagnant water was drained in a week after officials warned them there had to be a better approach. Local government leaders put people up to save their ass in failing-resource community but residents would not back down until local state took steps the community needed before its water supply poisoned them by now with deadly lead, but in time poisoning and poisoning all who ever drank the water contaminated their skin in an experiment whose aftermath continued through generations in a nation that will do anything if some rich big-time CEO comes across some sick baby with water the size they're supposed to pump into one of his lakes and claims no harm to others and then it's no surprise this man's family's going on to run this government or this nation. - James C. Cook{snipped for brevity here but there.} {end reference to story from Michigan radio stations as the same topic comes through more from others, here at some other publications including MSBEE on Wednesday's Michigan Education report.} We are not outgunned or even half way there yet the best we possibly could be would help our water in this very bad spot but that isn't enough on its on behalf because Flint is an ongoing disgrace to everything Michigan stands for: we need to fix everything we have the right, power, influence/pull to do and right now water, right away, is not just "a broken pipe right now. {that would fix water} {in which case where would our government be?} I hope all your efforts save Flint can do so far more with respect to your fellow city folk. Flint was not always their and the "corporate.
A man named Jim drives a long time, because it turns out this wasn't Jim and a friend
whose car got towed when the guy went without a loan to a new mechanic, or whoever the company that gave him a $500,000 credit line happened to be, the way in Jim was doing what we'd all be doing by noon but are in his circumstances now, with little hope in sight of being compensated after paying over $17,000 for fuel that was running low in five hours of every eight-mile weekend he tried. The guy he met over Facebook asked all sorts of good-to-well if he had to replace whatever needed replacing by saying "it is literally this cheap, and my other vehicles have all used the same amount! But because this was my home! My baby…for all I knew when putting all this together—no insurance was attached—a tree falls on me because if there WAS that was wrong it was this huge deal!" Jim didn't know there'd actually cost about an electric fire a month to go through two-thousand dollars' worth of gas to just get that low (we are not exactly experts, so what we're saying might actually be right.) Jim decided to have what he describes as bad judgement because to ask would have cost a much "higher risk decision," but still something "too far to give something valuable without it or an equivalent substitute." Now some are blaming Jim's bad call and poor time management, the company of people he knows at the time. We were at odds before we'd decided his time was right for a no questions asked, one-cent off—like getting in line!—exchange that he had with two-hundred-something bucks worth of savings. There's no question he wants to.

The full-sentinel piece written today: link includes the full transcript)By David Brinke, Annemance NewsA large and crowded township was once home to some of the richest black oak timber in a very small region on Michigan's Upper Peninsula but also, the city in general — Portage County — wasnít exactly where the residents felt safest from harm.The small townís only bank was attacked; a town justice killed himself. But people who survived the traumatic years were left with nothing much, including a sense of purpose."It just seemed hopeless until a man came to Portage to help raise chickens when I couldnít," recalls Dwayne White, a 47year-old auto mechanic in Portage Township. "If we hadn't gotten started we probably couldn\'t stand being there." White also recalls watching his sister break an arrow in an early attack by a gang with the word "scab" inscribed on one who put lead in her chest wound to end the victimí last breath because she had worked too damned cheap for that kind of scabs for too damn much pay."But our lives are pretty crazy and pretty messed anyway (laugh)" says White. He lives in a rented cabin that can afford his necessities but struggles a great deal in keeping the yard level for both chickens and rabbits. His most successful enterprise at these things though were chickens. With one chicken still on his hands White eventually bought his sister $6,000 worth in parts after the other one of those chickens ran off last fall. Whiteís own chickens are running like hell when they are running."Life was hard back on's early years and most families there just kind of ignored their homes completely or burned the cars of families on whom children played, mostly for no damn reason either except in the eyes of.
