Is the drinking water safe ANYWHERE anymore? Seems like every month I hear about a civil report regarding new crap found in new areas

[–] shreddy_scientist@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 years ago

There was a report from the beginning of the year which identified 80%+ of US drinking water has at least one massive issue with drinking water. Most samples had 2+ unsafe levels of toxins. So, seemingly no.

Shit, I read that as mayonnaise.

Only if, if mayonnaise was the issue folks would more easily be able to steer clear lol
