Before and After c.1920 Michigan Craftsman Bungalow For Sale $65K – Sold
OHU50K Notes $45,000 Increased in Price to $65K Sold
Before and After. We first featured this home a year ago when it was $45K. It sold for $38,00. Granted, the floors needed refinishing, but the new owners re”muddled” the hardwoods and jacked the price up to $65K. The three bedroom, 1.5 bath home has a nicely landscaped lot with a detached garage. Love the front porch, original front door, built-ins, vintage bathroom sink and wide baseboards, though, in this charming home.
The current state of the city’s water supply is vastly improved from the crisis years, with water quality now meeting safety standards and substantial progress in infrastructure upgrades. Continuous efforts are being made to ensure long-term safety and rebuild public trust.

Flint’s Current Water Supply
The water supply in Flint, Michigan, has seen significant improvements since the water crisis that began in 2014. Here are the key points regarding the current state of Flint’s water supply:
Background
The Flint water crisis started in April 2014 when the city switched its water source from treated Detroit Water and Sewerage Department water to the Flint River. This change led to lead contamination due to insufficient water treatment, resulting in serious public health issues.
Current Status
- Water Quality Improvement: As of recent years, Flint’s water quality has improved significantly. The city has switched back to the Detroit water system and implemented enhanced water treatment processes to ensure safety.
- Pipe Replacement: Flint has been actively replacing lead and galvanized steel service lines. By the end of 2022, the city completed the replacement of thousands of lead service lines, a major step in ensuring safer drinking water.
- Testing and Monitoring: Flint’s water is now regularly tested for lead and other contaminants. The tests show that the water meets federal and state standards. Continuous monitoring helps to quickly identify and address any potential issues.
- Public Confidence and Education: Efforts have been made to restore public confidence in the water supply. Educational campaigns and community involvement are part of the strategy to ensure residents feel safe using the water.
- Long-term Solutions: The city and state have invested in long-term solutions to improve water infrastructure and ensure such a crisis does not happen again. This includes upgrading water treatment facilities and ongoing maintenance.
Challenges
Despite the improvements, challenges remain:
- Trust Restoration: Many residents still distrust the water supply due to past experiences. Building and maintaining trust is an ongoing effort.
- Infrastructure: While significant progress has been made, there are still parts of the infrastructure that need upgrading.

Too bad. It’ll take another few thousands $$ to “unmuddle” the updates made.
