Drinking water safety in the USA is generally high due to strict regulations. The EPA regulates water quality under the Safe Drinking Water Act, monitoring contaminants and enforcing standards.However, some areas face challenges due to industrial pollution, aging infrastructure, and more. For example, Flint, Michigan, Newark, New Jersey, and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, have had lead contamination issues.You can find independent water tests on sites like Environmental Working Group and NSF International. Residential water filters can effectively remove contaminants. Activated carbon filters remove organic compounds, while reverse osmosis systems remove a wide range of contaminants.Remember to pick a filter certified by reputable organizations like the WQA and provide proper maintenance.
