Erin Brockovich, the water-safety activist who was immortalized in the eponymous film starring Julia Roberts, had her say on the water-safety scandal in Flint, Michigan on the Bill Maher show.

She explained that the water safety issue stemmed from the reluctance of public utility companies to purchase carbon-activated filtration systems, which can cost large sums of money.

They don't want to pay for it, so they've gone the cheap route, and they throw ammonia in the water system.
