This really surprised me about America's water purity:

Marc Edwards, the scientist who first uncovered the crisis in Flint,
described water testing in some of America's largest cities as an
"outrage". "They make lead in water low when collecting samples for EPA
compliance, even as it poisons kids who drink the water," Edwards, a
Virginia Tech scientist, said. "Clearly, the cheating and lax
enforcement are needlessly harming children all over the United States.
"If they cannot be trusted to protect little kids from lead in drinking
water, what on Earth can they be trusted with? Who amongst us is safe?"

We have been talking about lead in the water for 50 years and they
have been selling testing kits for just about that long. Some of it
comes from 100 year old pipes in municipal systems in old cities and
some comes from lead in the home plumbing.
We have always been told that if the pH was high enough and there was
enough calcium in the water the lead would be sequestered.
In Flint the local water authority simply did not add the same
sequestering the chemical that the Detroit operators did (after giving
up the contract with them for water) and the water itself was
corrosive without it.
Once they actually started looking they found this problem existed in
lots of places. They had blamed lead in kids on everything but the
water up until then (lead paint, lead in gasoline, lead solder in
electronics and even lead from bullets). Now they are grudgingly
admitting that it may just be from those 100 year old pipes that
should have been replaced 60-70 years ago when the cities had the
money to do it.

The lead is in the water of those cities run by Democrats/Commiecrats. Lead contamination makes people stupid. The DeCommiecrats want stupid voters. The DeCommiecrat elite have water filtration systems for themselves and their families. ヽ(à²*_à²*)ノ

All the large population centers are run by DeCommiecrats. They stay in power by keeping the population enslaved by promising them free money and stuff. The dumber the voters, the easier it is for the DeCommiecrat elite to stay in power. The DeCommiecrat elites live in luxury while their supporters live in squalor. The Democrats were the slave owners. Overt slavery was outlawed so they came up with another way to enslave Negroes by using government giveaways. The DeCommicrat tactics also ensnare poor Caucasians.
There are able bodied people receiving welfare from the government and they're breeding like rabbits with large broods of fatherless children who grow up to be savage thugs. The system is in bad need of reform but anyone who proposes such an action is labeled a racist by the Liberal/Leftist DeCommiecrats. ”Œ( à²*_à²*)”˜

It is more true than it would seem. None of these old cities are being
run by republicans although they might be in a state with a GOP
governor. Usually the cities will not talk to the state unless they
want money. They certainly don't want advice.
It is also true that people with money will buy an R/O that takes out
just about all of the contaminants and they also like bottled water,
usually imported. (typically Pelligrinio or Evian)

The Clean Water Act changed the requirements and the republicans warned this type of stories would pop up. We had no mass die offs or little children getting sick before this Act became law.
