“Getting clean drinking water to all the residents of Londonderry is a priority for me,” said town council chair Ron Dunn.

Safe to Drink is a podcast about the water contamination story that keeps repeating in town after town — and about the people who fought for answers through a maze of chemistry, regulations, and illnesses.
