Excerpts from the DailyHerald.com:
Residents from the suburbs are coming together to support those affected by the ongoing water crisis in Flint, Michigan. As the situation continues, communities across the region have launched a massive effort to provide clean, safe drinking water. Cases of bottled water are piling up at seven fire departments that are acting as drop-off points for the initiative, which was organized by the Buffalo Grove Police Department. The goal is to help local Flint police and firefighters who are working tirelessly to assist their own community.
The drop-off locations include fire stations in Arlington Heights, Grayslake, Round Lake, Schiller Park, Lake Zurich, North Riverside, and Utica. Donations of bottled water will be accepted 24/7 until 6 p.m. on Friday at the Buffalo Grove Police Headquarters, located at 46 Raupp Blvd. According to firefighter Andrew Larson, the Arlington Heights Fire Department has already collected 100 cases of water and sent them to Buffalo Grove as part of the effort.
Buffalo Grove Deputy Police Chief Roy Bethge estimates that at least 2,000 cases of bottled water will arrive at the department for shipment to Flint. Originally, off-duty officers planned to transport the water using a regular truck, but due to the overwhelming public response, officials are now hoping someone will volunteer a large semi-trailer to make the delivery more efficient.
Grayslake Fire Chief John Christian said the flow of donations has been steady since the campaign started on Monday. “It’s been nonstop,†he said, describing how residents have been bringing in cases of water throughout the week.
Flint has been dealing with this crisis since last year, when high levels of lead were found in its water supply. Since then, the city has relied on donations from across the country to ensure its residents have access to safe drinking water.
In addition to the fire department efforts, the Lake County Housing Authority is also collecting bottled water and funds to purchase it for residents of the Flint Housing Commission. They will accept both cases of water and checks through Thursday, February 4. The collection site is located at 33928 N. Route 45, just outside Grayslake. Donations can be made from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Thursday, Friday, Monday, and Tuesday. On Wednesday, February 3, drop-offs will be accepted from 8 a.m. to noon, and on Thursday, February 4, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Checks should be made out to the Lake County Housing Authority with "Flint Water" written in the memo line, according to Northern, a representative of the organization.
