| Flint was only one example sadly, there's a surprising number of communities in the US who are, or recently have been, unable to get drinkable water from their tap. Often for reasons like crumbling infrastructure, lead, or other contaminants. Seriously, search whatever state you like and you'll probably find there is, or recently was, large numbers of Americans there under orders to avoid drinking their water or only using it after boiling it. I have yet to see a national map of every area where the water isn't safe to drink, but I'd recommend checking cities in your area often and checking any place you plan on visiting because it rarely gets a lot of attention. I expect things to get even worse once we get federally enforced standards and rules for PFAS contamination.
