Maybe 60 million Americans avoid tap water because they have reasons not to trust their own water, especially post-Flint. [1] Some quick Googling turns these pages up: - Consumer Reports founds PFAS in 117 of the 120 water samples they tested from across the US [2] - When [chlorine] mixes with other organic compounds it can create a few harmful byproducts, including trihalomethanes and haloacetic acids [3] - Lead poisoning is apparently also a problem in Detroit, Pittsburgh, DC [4] - Arsenic has seeped into the water supply in California, Arizona, and New Mexico [4] I honestly don't know if any of these are incorrect misinformation or if people are acting in a misguided fashion, but as far as I can see, there certainly doesn't seem to be a consensus on that being the case.
