San Diego has 9th worst drinking water in the country
We are the the eighth-largest city in the US, but according to California’s Department of Public Health, San Diego’s drinking water system contained eight chemicals exceeding health guidelines as well as two chemicals that exceeded the EPA’s legal limit.
In total, 20 contaminants have been found. One of those contaminants in excess of the EPA limit was trihalomethanes. The other was manganese, a natural element that’s a byproduct of industrial manufacturing and can be poisonous to humans.
