As usual no one has a clue as to what the hell is going on. 21 States don't test for lead in water at all. The others use different procedures so the results might be worthless.
"Want to know how bad lead poisoning is in your city? Good luck."
"Every state measures lead exposure differently
If you want to understand the scope of America's lead exposure data problem, it's best to start with this map my colleague Sarah Frostenson made. It shows that only 26 states report lead poisoning cases to the federal government's central database, maintained by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention."

Chances are if your neighbors aren't idiots the water won't kill you.
