Life can not exist without water.

It's the source of all of life on planet Earth.

Let's hope the new trump administration and RFK can fix this mess.

Tuscaloosa County has already been through controversial issues with the water supply. We have actually seen a few other instances of our local water supply being tampered with or "leaked" into our water.

I don't understand how this keeps happening in our area.

42 million gallons of raw sewage in the streams and lakes seems like more than a tiny issue, as city leaders told us.

The researchers at 247Wallst have released a list of the cities with the MOST contaminated water supplies.

Which city came in #1 on the list?

Newark, New Jersey.

So, which Alabama cities appeared on this new list of the most contaminated cities in the USA?

Well, here's one that showed up in the Top 20:

19. Birmingham, Alabama
> Total score: 37.10
> Health guideline violations score (0-20): 6.25 – 41st worst out of 70 cities
> Most prevalent contaminant compared to other cities: Total THMs – 36th worst out of 70 cities

If one of the cities in the top 20 is just 40 miles from where I live, I'm betting that my water isn't much better.
