BENTON HARBOR — Benton Harbor residents have a new way to get free, clean drinking water.

On Dec. 15, in response to the ongoing water crisis in Benton Harbor, Michigan, Jaden Smith's nonprofit organization 501CTHREE and Elkay announced the installation of the Water Box at the Benton Harbor Housing Commission.

The trick is a portable filtration system first tested in Flint, and backed by Jaden Smith (yes, that Jaden Smith).
