I didn&#x27;t assume it but many cities including Baltimore for example send out yearly water testing reports with the water bills.  These reports always gave me the impression that the water was safe.<p>What is news to me and I think a lot of people after reading the Flint story is that those city level tests are deceiving because they don&#x27;t account for stuff that gets into the water between the reservoir and your tap which is how all the lead is getting into the water in Flint.
