Water quality can vary greatly from city to city but the majority of U.S. cities have some sort of pollution in their drinking water. City water must be filtered by the city to take out contaminants such as motor oil, sewage, acid from rainwater, as well as more dangerous toxins like bromate, total trihalomethanes, chlorine, antimony, cadmium, copper, fluoride, atrazine, chlordane, picloram, styrene, alpha particles and uranium. However, even after the city filters out these harmful contaminants some may continue to exist in low levels.
