  The whole of it. You stated that most municipal water supplies aren't monitored for months at a time. This is extremely incorrect. The EPA-mandated quarterly report is a summary, not the entirety of samples collected. It would be dangerous and reckless not to monitor drinking water for months at a time. E.g., Seattle explicitly states: > We monitor your water 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. We test samples from the region between 10 and 100 times per day. https://www.seattle.gov/Documents/Departments/SPU/Services/Water/Water_Quality_Report_2019.pdf https://www.seattle.gov/Documents/Departments/SPU/Services/W... (PDF) > To ensure the safety of our drinking water, SPU's water quality laboratory analyzes over 20,000 microbiological samples each year (more than 50 a day) and conducts chemical and physical monitoring daily, 365 days per year. https://www.seattle.gov/utilities/your-services/water/water-quality/lab-testing#:~:text=To%20ensure%20the%20safety https://www.seattle.gov/utilities/your-services/water/water-...
