ABC News Live takes you to Flint, Michigan, where the impact of a devastating water crisis is still being felt in the community.

Five years since the crisis began, many residents still don't trust the water. Hear from the doctor whose research helped expose the water crisis -- does she think enough is being done today?

Also, we'll look at whether another crisis is brewing just miles away from America's biggest city, New York. What's being done in Newark to prevent another crisis like Flint?

Flint resident Ariana Hawk consoles her daughter Aliana, 4, near the end of a two-hour community meeting with Flint water prosecutors at UAW Local 659, June 28, 2019, in Flint, Michigan.
