Well shit, we can really lower water bills by getting rid of all clean water regulations and simply stop water treatment.

Think of the cost savings!

Stricter (but not looser) standards can be imposed on state level. Canada has no binding national drinking water law, they leave it to territories/provinces to decide how to implement guidelines.

Watersheds don't follow political boundaries.

sometimes they do.

the Alberta/British Columbia border is defined by which direction water drains off the mountains

[BobaFloutist]

That sounds like the political boundary follows the watershed.

It also doesn't actually refute the actual point they were making.
