"New Database Shows Pollutants In Most Public Water Systems"

"A new national database released Wednesday by the Environmental Working Group shines a light on water quality across the U.S.

The database allows users to search by zip code or their local water utility name– aggregating information from nearly 50,000 public water systems.

“There is no federal organization that pulls together all these results for the country,” says David Andrews, Ph.D.,senior scientist at EWG. “Over the past two years we reached out to all 50 states and Washington DC to collect their water testing results.”"
