Today the Environmental Working Group (EWG) released the results of a three-year investigation of municipal water supplies across the U.S.
The research and advocacy group examined the results of water quality tests performed by water utilities since 2004 and created an extensive database that contains info on the contaminants found in 48,000 communities in 45 states.
