Look at the facts for there and then and you will see how convoluted your statement is.
Quality of water is much higher today than in the past.

Apparently I didnt make clear what I intended to
Quality of water prior to treatment is much worse today than it has ever been across the country
Water treatment plants have done a great job of getting us potable water within the current limits delivered to our taps
I didn't intend to imply we were drinking bad water at all but the need to treat it is there.
If your immune compromised the tap water might be marginal but certainly save to drink.
Well water or unregulated water is another thing
I am well aware of the test and requirements of potable water and certainly again didn't intend to infer that they weren't doing their jobs except for perhaps places like Flint where they ignored the lead for many years. this is not typical by any means.
A lot of money is spent cleaning up and treating our water to keep it safe to drink.
However the TDS in almost all our water has increased significantly in the past years due to over usage and increased population.
There are thousands of plants operating daily remediating water and keeping our water safe to drink.
I will have to be a bit more careful on how I say things
