SPC Andrew Griffin Everybody should be getting their drinking water tested, all schools, all municipalities! One of the MAJOR reasons for the reductions in the murder and gun violence rate from the 1970s is accounted for by the reduction of lead in our drinking water on account of the creation of the EPA (Formed December 2, 1970; 45 years ago) and the Clean Water Act of the 1970s, Effective October 18, 1972.
