Sewage and tap water situation is a metric I use to judge countries if they care about their citizens! :)

Don't know why it says the Baltic's in unsafe. Most of the water there comes from deep underground wells. I'd rather have that than water washed with chlorine.

Yep. Lithuanian here. Tap water is safe. I heard about rare nuts who drink bottled water because they saw it on TV in movies. But that’s about it.

It’s not even outdated. Drinking tap water here in Lithuania was safe since forever.

It seems chlorinated tap water shows up as "drinkable" on this map but really who wants that.
