I notice that the page you link does not mention PFAS at all.

Which to me means "Tap water is safe and effective" is a broad statement that doesn't consider pollutants outside of PFAS, which vary depending on the regional water treatment system and how they are operated from region to region.

"safe" and "effective" means different things between different regulating bodies.

That's not really what people are referring to when they mention Flint.

If "safe and effective" does not include testing for chemicals known to be dangerous, then the label "safe and effective" is not accurate.
