The Water

The Flint water crisis of 2014 is documented. Ada is not investigating 2014. She is investigating 1967: the first internal GM memo documenting engine corrosion consistent with high-chloride municipal water — circulated before the company quietly switched its Flint facilities to a private water supply. The memo was forwarded to the city water authority with a cover note suggesting they were 'aware of the issue.' The water authority's response in the GM archive confirms receipt and contains a sentence that rewrites the legal timeline by 47 years.
