Memphis Savannah San Francisco is one of the US cities with the cleanest drinking water Newark Vegas worst

The top ten cities for the cleanest drinking water have been revealed after H20 was tested across the country.

Investigate through WaterFilterGuru.com analyzed the quality of samples from 70 cities across the country to determine which had the least contaminated water.

The study examined the pH level of water in the US using data from the Environmental Working Group and SimpleLab.

The city of Memphis, a city of 630,000, topped the list, followed closely by Savannah in second place, with a population of 150,000.

The mountain town of Provo, Utah, with a population of 114,000, ranked third in the list, while San Francisco, Nashville, and Charleston placed fourth, fifth, and sixth, respectively.

San Francisco came fourth, with 815,000 people enjoying the clean water

The industrial city of Detroit was a surprise entry in seventh place, while the coastal city of Tampa came in eighth.

Montgomery, Alabama ranked high at ninth, while the nation’s second-largest city rounded out the top ten.

At the bottom of the chart, Newark, New Jersey reached 70th place just behind the desert city of Las Vegas at 69, home to 646,000 people.

The water quality guidelines stem from the Environmental Protection Agency’s criteria, which are based on their scientific understanding of water pollutants and their impact on human health.

According to the study, it includes pH, alkalinity, hardness, and total dissolved solids.

The quality of Memphis’ water, which topped the list, is said to be a source of city pride.

The drinking water comes from the Memphis Sand Aquifer, which is hundreds of meters underground.

Fact: Despite advances in global sanitation, there are 187 countries where tap water is considered unsafe or unpalatable

The aquifer consists of a mixture of water and sand that helps filter the water.

On top of the mixture is a trapping layer of clay that protects the aquifer from contaminants.

Water quality is regularly in the news. In recent years, the Flint, Michigan lawsuits water pollution problems have dominated headlines.

The crisis began in 2014 when the city began drawing water from the Flint River for its 100,000 residents without properly treating it, resulting in lead contamination.

Residents complained about the smell, taste and appearance of the water, causing health problems, reporting skin rashes, hair loss and other problems.

As a result, the corrosive river water leaked lead and other contaminants from aging pipes into drinking water. This led to elevated levels of lead and other pollutants in the tap water consumed by residents. The water was discolored, had a foul odor and tasted unpleasant.

The desert city of Las Vegas came in 69th with only Newark, New Jersey worse at 70th

It was only through independent research and persistent activism by residents and researchers that the crisis received national attention.

More recently, the train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio, released toxic chemicals that are now threatening the local water supply.

Homeowners complained of symptoms some in the city believe are related to the release of chemicals from the derailed train cars.

The incident has also sparked environmental concerns. An estimated 3,500 fish died in area creeks and rivers, though the Environmental Protection Agency has continued to reassure residents that their water supply is safe to drink.
