Significant upgrades to treatment plants have been made over the past year; however, many areas still face risks of contaminated drinking water. The EPA has reported that 45 public water supplies are at risk of either under-performing or failing, impacting approximately 497,000 individuals. These findings indicate that improvements in treatment facilities have not fully resolved the underlying issues affecting the safety of drinking water across the country. Continued efforts are necessary to ensure comprehensive protection and access to clean drinking water for all citizens.
Despite significant investments in upgrading treatment plants, large areas of the country's drinking water supply still face risks of contamination, affecting nearly half a million people.
The EPA identified 45 public water supplies that are at risk of under-performance or complete failure, highlighting that progress is still inadequate in ensuring safe drinking water for all.
