Michigan battles order to deliver bottled water to Flint residents

"The herculean effort required by the court order would be on the magnitude of a large-scale military operation," says spokeswoman for Gov. Rick Snyder, who is opposing the order.
The administration of Gov. Rick Snyder moved today to block a federal court order forcing state officials to deliver bottled water to Flint residents who don't have properly installed and maintained water filters on their kitchen taps.
The state's legal filing seeks to stay a preliminary injunction issued last week pending an appeal in the case. U.S. District Judge David Lawson last Thursday ruled that the state and City of Flint must, effective immediately, deliver four cases of bottled water per resident per week to qualified Flint households.
“It’s sad that the State of Michigan continues to disenfranchise the community of Flint," one of the plaintiffs, Pastor Allen Overton with the Concerned Pastors for Social Action, said of the state's legal move. "What happened to Gov. Snyder’s pledge that he would work to fix Flint’s drinking water crisis? This action today inflicts more harm on a city that’s already hurting”
