    This should make us all very very afraid of what that water is doing to US!

    (Especially if/when it is colored - last year my water became orange and started giving everyone I knew that drank it mouth soreness, I only wish I was kidding, and ofc it was traced to a corporation found illegally dumping toxic chemicals into the water reclamation systems, thus exposing the entire city to those effects. No, they never faced any legal consequences beyond the slightest slap on the wrist iirc, why would they? That is what finally tipped the scales and helped me realize: the USA is not a first-world nation anymore.)

      The tap water killing plants is more commonly the chemicals put in it intentionally to keep it clean/stop us from getting sick and fluoride to keep our mouths cleaner
