Austin Has Some of the Cleanest Drinking Water in the Country - Forbes.com

Forbes.com has named Austin as having the second cleanest tap water in the U.S. in its recent study of the largest metro areas. Des Moines, Iowa was rated #1. The study covered 77 MSAs (Metropolitan Statistical Areas) across the country.

The ratings were based on several factors:

• cloudiness of water (turbidity)
• bacteria
• haloacetic acids
• lead

The Austin-San Marcos area showed some of the lowest levels of lead, turbidity and haloacetic acid.
