What pollutants are in your tap water? (in the United States).

  • I live in Wilmington, North Carolina. We are having highly publicized issues with a chemical in our drinking water called GenX. Seriously, that's it's name. I can't link for shit, but you can google the hell out of it.
  • Oh lovely, I wonder how many other cities and towns get their drinking water from the same river?
  • I don't think that the water here reaches any other places. The river dumps out into the ocean right here in Wilmington. Of course, it should be noted that I do not approve of dumping chemicals into the ocean.
  • We did have Erin Brockovich come to town yesterday or the day before to meet with some people. And Governor Roy Cooper met with local officials, too. What levels are higher than that? Trump? The Pope? Oprah? Angelina Jolie?
