Here's the CNN timeline: http://www.cnn.com/2016/03/04/us/flint-water-crisis-fast-facts/index.html http://www.cnn.com/2016/03/04/us/flint-water-crisis-fast-fac... > April 16, 2013 - On the city council's recommendation Andy Dillon, state treasurer, authorizes Flint to make the switch. One day later, the DWSD terminates its water service contract with Flint, effective April of 2014. There are further discussions, however, between Flint's leaders and the DWSD about options that would allow the city to purchase Detroit water after the contract ended. Flint resumes buying Detroit water in October of 2015. That termination the day after the announcement following a period of negotiation just screams retaliation when I read it.
