That's a weird sentiment considering the US has some of the highest quality drinking water in the world.

- thsksbd 3y agoScientists who work in government (DOE, EPA, etc) keep telling me that but I don't believe them. I worked alongside them and I wasn't impressed by most of them. Result? I dodged a mini-Flint that occurred in my tiny corner of the Midwest. Two if you include the aftermath of Bethlehem, OH. Anyway "rest of the world" is a spurious comparison. Im interested in comparing with Switzerland's water quality, not Eritrea's .
- DEADMINCE 3y agoYou said you don't consider water in the US to be potable. That's a much stronger claim than saying you don't entirely trust some of the peopel that work in government and certify the water. Besides, I'm sure you can find independent studies verifying the water quality.
