Do you remember me talking about this just a minute ago?!!! This was put out a little while ago and I thought it was sooo odd they were telling everyone to drink the tap water. I immediately thought wow, that’s suspicious. I think some comments were that it was due to the heat or something. I totally didn’t think that. If the government says drink tap water, I’m totally NOT drinking tap water.

I would be surprised if NY is the only one with tap water problems, but I'm not surprised they're leading the pack.

I've been to pizza places in Iowa that bragged about using water from NY in their crusts.
Great
Obviously not for a lot of folks! Maybe we’re different!

You make it sound like it's the entire city. It's not.
It's one public housing complex within the city. Sure, it sucks for those 3700 residents (about 0.04% of the city's population of 8.8 million), but they've been given water bottles (by the mayor) and the water has already been retested, coming back fine.

Notice you don’t really see him drink and his tumbler is opaque too.
