Essay: Water crises in multiple cities have left Americans uncertain that what flows from their taps is safe to drink
Distrust of tap water is on the rise in the U.S. In 2018, roughly 60 million Americans didn’t drink their tap water, according to a study led by a researcher at Pennsylvania State University—a 40% increase compared with four years earlier.
The rise, which was sharpest in Black and Hispanic communities, followed the drinking-water crisis that broke out in Flint, Mich., in 2014, when a change in the city’s water source led to complaints of brown, foul-smelling water. Despite early assurances by state and federal officials that the water was safe, scientists found that it contained extraordinarily high levels of lead, a potent neurotoxin.
