Are you one of the Americans currently receiving water from a source that violates the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA’s) Safe Drinking Water Act? Violations range from inadequate testing to dangerous levels of contaminants like arsenic or lead.
These violations occur across the country, from rural counties to crowded cities. We’ve gathered the top 10 states with the worst public water ratings, ranked by the total number of people served with unsafe and hazardous water.
Over 50% of Americans depend on groundwater for drinking water. It also serves as an essential source for irrigation. However, groundwater is extremely susceptible to pollution. Materials and substances from the surface can move through the soil and seep into water resources. From pesticides and fertilizers to septic tanks and underground storage waste, many contaminants can leach into groundwater and cause contamination.
If your state is on the list, don’t worry—you can test and improve the quality of your water.
I want you to have access to clean water, which is why I am a Multipure Distributor.
