It’s not just Flint or Newark. In the last few years, over 5 million people drank water from systems that violated the EPA’s lead limit.
Plus, an estimated 6 to 10 million lead pipes are still under the ground. Except for four states (Wisconsin, Illinois, California and Michigan), cities don’t have to tell people where lead pipes are located. So most people who are at risk, have no idea. Under new draft rules just announced by the EPA, that could change. But for now, as long as you have a lead pipe in front of your home, you’re at risk of drinking lead-tainted water.
