Why Water Quality Matters

  • Crumbling Infrastructure: Over 2 million miles of aging water pipes across the U.S. — many installed before WWII — leak 6 billion gallons of treated water daily and carry contaminants through 9+ million lead service lines still in use.
  • Serious Health Risks: Water contaminants cause approximately 7.1 million illnesses annually in the U.S. Lead causes irreversible neurological damage in children, while PFAS “forever chemicals” — found in 97% of Americans — are linked to cancer and organ damage.
  • Regulatory Gaps: The EPA regulates just 94 contaminants despite thousands being present in U.S. drinking water, leaving many harmful substances completely unmonitored and unchecked.
