Tapped Out: America's Drinking Water and the Health Risks Hidden Behind Legal Limits

Gaps in water safety standards exist throughout the U.S.

The EPA sets maximum contaminant levels, or MCLs, for certain chemicals in drinking water, but many of these legal limits are outdated and inadequate for protecting public health. Some MCLs haven’t been updated in decades, even though new scientific evidence shows that even low levels of exposure to certain chemicals can be harmful.

The Tap Water Database is a free, user-friendly tool that helps consumers find out what's in their drinking water, filling the gaps left by federal regulations. By entering a ZIP code, users can access detailed reports on contaminants, health risks and compliance violations in their local water supply.
