    Flint was distressing to hear about. If water quality can deteriorate that much in a major American city, shouldn’t we all be concerned?

    Water in places like DC is routinely tested and it is not unheard of to get an advisory to not drink the water.

    there’s a lot of chlorine 3.2ppm to a EPA limit of 4ppm. You can certainly smell it.
