FILE - In this June 20, 2017, file photo, Flint, Mich. Mayor Karen Weaver listens to a question during a closed news conference discussing the water source recommendation made for Flint at City Hall.

The Department of Environmental Quality had threatened legal action if the council did not approve Weaver's recommendation or propose a reasonable alternative by Monday.(Shannon Millard/The Flint Journal-MLive.com via AP, File)
