According to the Environmental Working Group (EWG), millions of Americans are exposed to heavy metals in their drinking water, often without knowing it. This raises a critical question for many: is tap water full of metals? The reality is nuanced, with contamination levels varying widely based on location and the infrastructure delivering your water.

According to the World Health Organization, a zero count of *E. coli* per 100ml of drinking water is considered the standard for safety. Defining and understanding how much water is considered unsafe is critical for preventing illness from harmful microbes, chemical pollutants, and even over-consumption.
