Volunteers deliver bottled water to residents of Flint, Mich. (19 images)

Volunteers deliver cases of bottled water to the beleaguered residents of Flint, Mich. whose drinking water was found to be contaminated with lead after the water source was switched from Detroit Water and Sewerage Dept. to the Flint River in April 2014. The city's aging lead pipes have contributed to the water crisis, with the metal and other contaminants leaching into the water system.
