    The US has many places where drinking the water is not safe, not that people are just choosing not to. I’m sure the people of Flint would be psyched to be able to actually drink tap water again.

    The places with forever chemical contamination are also growing.

      You might consider updating your thoughts. The water in Flint has been fixed for several years.

      The water mains damaged by corrosion were replaced, and the vast majority of household service lines have been replaced.

      It’ll take time before people trust the water system fully again, but it’s been independently tested and shown to be fine, with continued monitoring as part of the lawsuit settlement.

      Sure, but a town with a population of 80k people doesn’t define a nation. The vast majority of Americans have safe tap water available to drink.
