The 25 United States with the worst drinking water
Where contaminants flow directly from the faucet.
In 2017, it is not unusual to have a personal preference for water. Maybe you like light mineral flavor or light land. Or maybe you prefer sparkling. Whatever the case, chances you do not want anything that includes chemicals or carcinogens - the types of contaminants included in the environmental protection agency "Unregulated contaminant monitoring rule. "
While most municipal water sources in America have sterling track records of this kind, all cities are not great in this regard. Here, we compiled the worst of the worst of the 200 largest cities of America. (Note the "biggest;" therefore, no flint, Michigan.) So, read it to know more about the worst tap water in the United States.
Our methodology: Our list of cities with contaminated water includes areas with "pollution potential", according to the environmental protection agency, as well as the number of contaminants (such as chloroform, bromate or acid trichloroacetic, all judged cancerous) found in thelocal water, according to the Environmental Working Group. The "dirty water score" was determined by calculating the number of contaminants found in water from the largest water utility in the city, with a greater weight granted to those who have exceeded the health guidelines of the EEC (established by a federal or public health authority).
