Is there a water crisis in the United States?
While the population in America grows, cities and counties are often forced to spend money to expand their infrastructure! How many municipalities are pulling money from their maintenance budgets due to expansion? The water infrastructure of many cities is falling apart, due to funding deficits for maintenance. State budgets are often slim which, causes municipalities to barely keep up with maintaining the infrastructure they already have and upgrades to the systems are generally pushed to the back burner.
Americans are seeing the crisis unfold everyday. Water issues are all over the United States in cities like, Flint Michigan, Austin Texas, Miami Florida, New York NY, Sandy Utah, Wilmington NC and they are not alone! Reports of water issues, come out everyday and there are so many, it would be a monumental task, to report all of them. There are roughly 1500 boil water notices issued across the United States every week and some of those often are delivered late. Legionnaires disease, lead poisoning, brain eating amoebas, PCB's, Arsenic, Mercury and whole list of other contaminants are appearing in the water at an alarming rate.
People often tell us there is nothing wrong with the tap water they drink. It is mind boggling to us, that people actually believe that. Below are links to videos that may change your mind.
