My understanding is that just because you live in a blue area of the map doesn't mean you have contaminated water. Also, note that this paper only looks at public water supply testing data, not private well water. From the linked artic

This is great to see as I've been working on a similar project to try to visualize relationships by looking at the number of texts sent over time. If anyone would like help generating similar analyses of their texting data, I'd be
