13 Places in America with the Dirtiest Tap Water

For the most part, Americans enjoy some of the safest and cleanest water on the planet. As the recent lead contamination in Flint, Michigan, brought to light, however, some municipalities struggle with water quality and lack the support or infrastructure to eliminate contaminants. Even the best municipal water systems can suffer sporadic water quality problems as the result of a natural disaster or emergency situation. In cities with aging infrastructure, water mains break and minerals leach out of pipes, while in other communities water sources may be poisoned with mining waste, industrial chemicals, or agricultural runoff. The cities listed here are struggling with water quality issues. If you're traveling to any of these towns, you might want to think twice before you turn on the tap.
