State officials in Michigan have ended the free water bottle program for Flint, claiming that the city's water quality has been restored to pre-crisis levels. 

Lead levels in Flint's water supply are below the federal limit and the water's quality is safe for residents to drink, CNN reports. 

“We have worked diligently to restore the water quality and the scientific data now proves the water system is stable and the need for bottled water has ended,” Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder said in a release. 

The free bottled water program was part of a $450 million federal aid package to help residents through the water crisis as corrosive pipes were replaced to help residents have access to clean and safe water.

In 2014, city officials switched the water source from Lake Huron to the Flint River, which is 19 times more corrosive, as an easy fix to save funds. However, the easy fix became a long-term issue leading to an outbreak of Legionnaires' disease that killed 12 people, cases of lead poisoning and residents being reliant on bottled water donations.  

"Bottled water may be ending but the state's commitment to the residents of Flint remains strong," said Rich Baird, senior adviser to Snyder, in a statement.

Despite the large sums of money being funneled in to fix corroded pipes, the crisis has not officially ended. Residents were provided filters nearly two years ago but not many people trust that the issue has been solved.

"I don't trust the filter, I don't trust the water," Ariana Hawk told CNN affiliate WJRT. "Everything that me and my kids do from cooking to boiling their water for a bath, we're using bottled water, I do not trust anything."

There have been at least 13 officials on the state level and local level facing criminal counts in the investigation regarding the mishandling of the Flint water supply, according to NBC.  

“It is reasonable to believe,” Marc Edwards, a Virginia Tech civil engineer, said in an email to HuffPost, "that many Flint residents will never trust the government again."
