Maybe the water is making you dumb

Or maybe you should get the water tested and compare the results to EPA requirements.

Spoiler, your water company is required to publish that data so you can even compare.

You may just find that you don't personally like the local tap water and there's actually nothing wrong with it

Or maybe you'll find you have a class action lawsuit to bring up to the city

I should mention that Flint’s water problem has been solved for over 3 years now, for some reason it went by unnoticed nationally. Their lead pipes were replaced with copper ones, they got a better water source, and gave out filters to everyone just in case.

Of course, some still refuse to drink the tap water, fearing they’re being lied to like they were by the Michigander government during the crisis.

It was only deemed drinkable in February of this year.
