About 90% of public water systems in the U.S. obtain their water from groundwater. However, since systems served by groundwater tend to be much smaller than systems served by surface water, only 34% of Americans (101 million) are supplied with treated groundwater, while 66% (195 million) are supplied with surface water.
For a surface water system to operate without filtration it has to fulfill certain criteria set by the EPA under its Surface Water Treatment Rule, including the implementation of a watershed control program. The water system of New York City has repeatedly fulfilled these criteria

The dont have access to clean water. They have to walk miles to get a tiny amount of water. In some places it takes all day to fetch the water and bring it home. Once it's home the usually have it sitting out in open where it gives a good breeding ground for Mosquitos. Many of the people are dipping their hands in and out of the water, and their hands are unsanitary because they dont have access to good hygiene and access to doctors and access to cleaning or toilet facilities. So when they touch the water they are making the water unsanitary. The Mosquitos infect people with malaria. The basis is that these people live in poverty.
