DETROIT, MI ? A spike in cases of Legionella bacteria has been discovered in the Flint area, Gov. Rick Snyder and a pair of Health and Human Services Department officials announced Wednesday.
Officials said there's no evidence of a clear link between the outbreak and the water system change that's caused an uproar over elevated lead levels found in Flint children.
From June 2014 to March 2015, 45 cases of Legionella bacteria were confirmed in Genesee County, according to the state Health and Human Services Department Director Nick Lyons.
