FLINT, MI-- Flint will continue receiving free bottled water from Nestle Waters North America.

There is no end distribution date in sight.

Flint officials announced Nestle would continue supplying the city with free bottled water beyond the intended August end distribution date, according to a press release.

"We appreciate that Nestlé Waters has agreed to extend supplying bottled water beyond the August end date,” said Mayor Karen Weaver. “Since the spring of 2018, Nestlé Waters has generously provided nearly 5 million bottles of water to Flint, and this extension will help the residents as we continue to replace lead-tainted service lines.”

The state stopped supplying free bottled water to Flint residents on April 6, announcing that testing showed Flint’s water quality was below action levels for lead for two years.

In February, new independent testing of Flint water for lead says the 90th percentile for 51 high-risk homes tested in Flint from May through December was 4 parts per billion of lead -- less than half the current federal and future state action level.

On April 10, Nestle spokesman stated the company expects to have donated more than 6.5 million bottles of water to the city from May 2018 until August 2019.

“We know that people were concerned that bottled water distribution would be ending soon, however, at the request of Mayor Weaver, Nestle has agreed to continue distribution," said Flint Chief Recovery Officer Jameca Patrick-Singleton.

Monday at Bethel United Methodist Churc h1309 North Ballenger Highway
