New app, website help Flint residents deal with water issues

A new app and website aimed at helping Flint residents and officials deal with the city’s water crisis was created by the University of Michigan and Google, The Associated Press reported.
Mywater-Flint was developed by computer science researchers at the university's Flint and Ann Arbor campuses with Google's technical and financial support.
The app and website are designed to provide information about lead-testing results, water testing, where pipes have been replaced and the location of distribution centers for water and filters. Developers said they also can predict which homes are more likely to have higher lead levels based on age, location, value and size, the AP reported.
