It may be some time before all responsible parties come clean about the series of events that led to the water crisis in Flint, Michigan — but in the meantime, residents are getting aid from an unlikely source: Hollywood. California-based beverage company AQUAhydrate, owned in part by Sean “Diddy” Combs and Mark Wahlberg, has pledged a whopping one million bottles of water to assist with the situation until it is resolved.
In case you haven’t heard, dangerously high levels of lead have been detected in Flint’s water since officials opted to begin drawing the city’s water from the Flint River instead of the Detroit municipal system as a cost-saving measure (shudder). Not surprisingly, many organizations have now stepped in, including the Red Cross and the Michigan State Emergency Management and Homeland Security, which are working closely with AQUAhydrate to integrate its sizeable donation into the relief efforts.
