Is your drinking water unsafe?

In recent EPA findings, over 48 states have failed to report water violations to the U.S. Government Accountability Office. Many states are failing to report violations such as high levels of arsenic and chlorine. The GAO is trying to inform people that the U.S. still has the safest drinking water around but they did release a statement saying "waterborne-disease outbreaks caused by ­microorganisms do still occur.” Even though the water is reported to still be safe, there are numerous reports of illness outbreaks due to the drinking water. There are many solutions to these problems. States just need to make it more of an effort to make sure that they are keeping up with EPA regulations on testing and other required tasks. There aren't many barriers besides the lack of funding in some states. Employees just need to make sure they're doing their complete tasks.
