Do some towns in America still rely on single wells? Like a system that could be poisoned easily?
<|assistant|>
Yes, some towns in America still rely on individual wells for their drinking water which could be vulnerable to contamination. In particular, rural communities with lower water quality, less access to infrastructure and income, are more likely to rely on individual wells. Unfortunately, these wells are often not regularly tested or monitored, making them vulnerable to becoming contaminated by pathogens or chemical pollutants. To address this issue, federal programs and grants are provide funds to help low-income households connect to clean drinking water sources, such as public utilities and safe wells.
