ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Witold's Report

Witold's report is a very long piece of writing that talks about some things that were happening in a place called Flint, which is a city in Michigan. The people who wrote the report were very smart and they wanted to explain what was going wrong with the water in Flint.

You see, the water that people in Flint were drinking was making them sick. This was because there was something bad in the water called lead. Lead is a type of metal that can be very dangerous if people drink or breathe it in too much.

The people who made the water in Flint wanted to save money, so they started using a different kind of water that was not safe. They did not tell the people who lived in Flint about this, so many people drank the bad water and got very sick.

When the people who wrote Witold's report realized this was happening, they wanted to tell everyone how bad it was so that they could try to fix it. They talked to a lot of people and did a lot of research to write the report.

Now, many people are working to help the people in Flint get safe water again. The report helped people understand what was happening and what needed to be done to fix it.
