Clean water seems like a good thing: People certainly pay through the nose for bottled water. The question is "what is clean water anyway?" With tens of thousands of artificial chemicals in our environment, in addition to things that nature cooks up, water obviously can't be tested for every little thing. The EPA is now working on updating that list of things that make your good water "bad." This may have an impact, not only on the quality of drinking water, but the price as well.
