FLINT, MI -- Flint Community Schools will hold a forum next week to talk about progress made on the installation of water filter systems at all district schools.

The filtration systems are funded through a large donation made by tech billionaire Elon Musk and his foundation.

The meeting is scheduled for 6 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 17, at Southwestern High School, 1420 West 12th Street to discuss the water stations.

“During the last few month, a team that consists of school officials, city officials, medical and university partners have worked to design and construct a one-of-a-kind, water station for installation into every Flint Community School,” a release from Superintendent Derick Lopez states.

The UV water purification method within the water filtration systems will disinfect all lead and bacteria coming from the water pipes to allow students to drink from and fill up water bottles from school water fountains.

Each water station includes two filters -- a carbon filter that filters lead and other particles and an ultraviolet filter that filters potentially disease-causing organisms.

“At long last, we have received out first water stations for testing,” Lopez said in the release.

Two units, one for Doyle Ryder Elementary School and another for Southwestern Classical Academy, have arrived and are being tested at Kettering University.

The Kettering University lab will test the units by running contaminated water through the system and making sure the water that comes out is clean.

Testing will take about four months to complete, the release states.

While testing of the two units is underway, new water stations will be installed in each of the other buildings but they will not be connected to the water.

All water stations will be turned on once testing is complete and the district is given the go-ahead.

A $480,350 donation announced in October 2018 is being used to pay for water filtration systems in all 12 Flint school buildings and the administration building.
