Is your tap water safe for drinking and cooking?
Most don’t know how to respond to this question. This is because there is a gap in our educational standards. We wish to share our knowledge with you so that you can make an informed choice for yourself
Three axes
Data analysis
You don’t need to guess, nor blindly trust. Many agencies at the state, federal or city level provide a wealth of information on our water system and its current state. We wish to assist you in your navigation!
testing for self
Cheap solutions exist to measure yourself whether your water is drinkable as per EPA standards. There are many contaminants, but for less than a dollar, you can learn a lot.
civic empowerment
You may still have some doubt, or think of broader issues. By consulting the data platforms, you will learn for yourself, on which door to knock, who to reach out to know your rights and advocate for solutions

Don’t drop out.
