The article contradicts itself:
The water crisis in Flint, Michigan, is entering its fourth year, and residents are still a long way away from having potable tap water.
A couple of paragraphs down it says:
Today, drinking water in Flint is in compliance with federal regulations, but local officials have not announced it's safe to drink. Many residents still don't use the water and oppose paying for the utility.
so, what is the truth? Is it potable, or not?
Which is why Trump should have the EPA there, and announce once and for all, is the water safe to drink? I sure wouldn't take the city's word for it at this point.

Valid point, but didn't we criticize Obama for getting into local matters when he was in office? (I know I did)
No doubt something needs to be done, but it certainly points to how corrupt Flint officials are, and Michigan officials for not stepping in to correct this. It's a dangerous precedent to set to step in every time a local problem erupts. (I realize this is an extreme thing going on, but it should be handled at the local and state level.) Is there legal standing for Trump to get involved? I honestly don't know.
