#35: Parked in contamination – Mobile homes and the water crisis
Manage episode 502729509 series 3623009
In this episode of Tap’d In, hosts Jordan and Lana uncover a hidden drinking water crisis affecting millions of Americans living in mobile home parks. Drawing from an AP News investigation, they reveal how nearly 70% of parks with their own water systems have violated safe drinking water regulations – often at rates worse than cities. Some parks aren’t regulated by the EPA at all, leaving dangerous contaminants like arsenic undetected. Even when outside water sources are safe, aging pipes within parks can taint it before it reaches taps. Jordan and Lana discuss why oversight is so lax, the human toll on residents who can’t easily move, and the urgent need for stronger protections.
