According to one study, up to 21 million Americans are getting water from systems that violate health standards.
Reporting by the Guardian shows that at least 33 major US cities have skirted water quality testing in much the same vein as Flint and the state of Michigan.

Iowa has 750 impaired waterways. In most cases they were polluted by manure and chemical fertilizers from the massive factory farms that have overrun the state.There are more than 10,000 factory farms in Iowa now. The state is home to 26 million hogs that produce the equivalent waste of 65 million people. That waste has to go somewhere. So it runs into waterways and eventually into the drinking water system.
