#14: Toxic tap: America's ongoing water crisis
In this episode of Tap’d In, hosts Jordan and Lana examine the alarming state of U.S. drinking water, drawing insights from Erin Brockovich’s report and recent developments in the Flint water crisis. Brockovich highlights the widespread presence of chemicals, heavy metals, and radioactive substances in water supplies, often exceeding safe levels, while slow federal action and inadequate regulations leave millions at risk. Meanwhile, the Flint water crisis sees another legal chapter as Veolia North America agrees to a $53 million settlement—while denying responsibility. Jordan and Lana discuss the systemic failures in water management, the role of industry and government, and what individuals can do to stay informed and take action for safer drinking water.
