This article really concerns and scares me. This could be any one of us effected by high levels of lead and never knowing. I am suprised that there is a level expectancy but no prosecution for exceeding it and not regular testing of water. The general population does not now about there water unless it becomes a national crisis like flint. I am very cocerned because they said so many communities are effected what is this doing to the children who are growing up on this water. I will be switching to bottled water because I just do not trust the water anymore to much covering up going on its so sad.

Reading this article on contaminated water is mind-boggling.   The work is done, reports are made, violations noted, and no one assesses any penalties.  Ludicrous!   Why do any of the work if nothing is done with the findings.  What other profession allows this!   Our government is ridiculous.   We need more Erin Brockovich's in this world to fine these folks millions and millions of dollars in fine.  I worry about our children.

I think having cities in the United States with bad drinking water is bad for the entire nation and should be address by the entire nation. I think there should be real punishment for the people in charge that do not make sure that the city has clean drinking water. I'm sad to read all the stats about other cities having the same issue.

Why isn't the EPA assessing fines for violations?   So presently you just get a violation but no repercussions.   Another example of ridiculous wasted government who sits on their behinds and doesn't do their job.   I feel every year we need a completely new group of employees in every division in the government.   It's ridiculous.   The next most treasured commodity will be clean water everywhere.
