Flint officials expect to announce this week a decision on hiring a consultant to help with the city’s water problems.

Only one company applied for the job. 

City officials want an outside eye to evaluate its water treatment process. 

They’re particularly interested in having experts in treating river water.

The city of Flint started getting its tap water from the Flint River last April.

Since then, the water has been plagued with problems.
