    An issue that I wanted to bring up because, really it's important (and I want to let as many people know as possible). Around 33 cities water in the U.S water system contain dangerous amounts of lead.

    This is a prominent issue that needs to be addressed and really, you should be cautious about drinking the water if you live in one of these cities :

    Apparently, the cities with a Red dot were instructed to pre-flush before testing for water pipes.

    The ones with Orange dots were cities that removed aerators from spouts.

    The Yellow(ish) dots were from water that was ran slowly.

    Now, just because the dots are different colors this does not change the fact that the lead poisoning your water supply is DANGEROUS.
    I advise you to not take my word to heart, don't quote me. If you have the chance to take the time out of your busy schedule to do some research upon this topic, I advise you to do so.
    Some more articles for you to look at :

    P.S. Even if you'd go as far as to ridicule, dismiss, or "troll" this thread and/or me.
    I only have one reply for you.
    I'm sorry for caring.
