    Most of these comments are people recommending bottled water or various filtration methods, both of which could work in varying degrees. Let’s not miss the point that people who will be most impacted are low income and might struggle to pay their tap water bill. Bottled water and filters are a stretch for those folks. The true fix is demanding more of our politicians to hold polluters accountable and push for better treatment of the tap water.

      Aren’t people paying taxes?

      No idea why people would rather spend more money than to hold the government accountable to fix the services they pay for.

        Conservative “government is the problem” brain rot is extremely pervasive.
