Fair enough, but I'm curious about your numbers for clean water to every home and business. Forgive me if I'm wrong, but isn't the majority of tap water in the country already safe? New York City has some of the cleanest trap water in the world.

Despite that massive investment, we still have, and are projected to remain having, problems in many parts of the country supplying clean water to marginalized communities. Plumbing ain't cheap.
Yep. Which goes to show just how expensive uprooting and replacing the remainder is - not to mention maintaining the existing infrastructure.
