Tap water can contain many substances that are harmful for human health. Many of those can cause serious health issues including all kinds of cancers as well. Some of those harmful contaminants include: aluminum, lead, chloroform, chromium, dibromochloromethane, chlorate etc. just to name some. Some of these contaminants come from the water purifying process, while others come from the taps themselves.

Even though the US is among the 21 Countries with the Best Tasting Tap Water in the World, there are still many places where municipal water is polluted and very bad for human health.

But state status does not reflect the subject of our issue now, and that is concerning cities with the cleanest tap water in the US in 2017.
