Over 480,000 people relying on 'at risk' public water supplies

So far this year, 51,579 people have been affected by boil water notices.

The number of people in the country relying on “at-risk” public water drinking supplies has jumped to nearly half a million.

The latest report by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has also raised red flags over the effects of lead in our water and how insufficient progress was made last year to improve the situation.
