In 2015, Veolia North America was paid $40,000 to produce a report on Flint, Michigan's water supply. Veolia Vice President Rob Nicholas asserted that the water was safe to drink and met state and federal standards. The report received additional scrutiny in 2016 after a state of emergency was declared over toxic levels of chemicals detected in Flint's water supply. A Veolia spokesperson asserted that testing for lead and copper levels was beyond the scope of their work.

History
1953: The French Compagnie Générale des Eaux (CGE) begins to collect household waste.
1975: The firm SARP Industry is founded to treat hazardous waste.
1980: CGE takes full control of the Compagnie Générale de Chauffe (CGC), a company with which it has already operated incineration plants since 1967. CGE also assumes control of the Compagnie Générale d'Entreprises Automobiles (CGEA), a business with significant presence in household waste management and in urban transportation.
1986: CGE opens its first waste drop-off centres.
1989: Creation of the Onyx brand, which unifies all of CGEA’s waste management activities. CGEA-Onyx eventually becomes Onyx in 2004.
2000: Birth of Vivendi Environnement, spun out of the environmental activities of the Vivendi Group (previously CGEA). In 2003, Vivendi Environnement becomes Veolia Environnement.
