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.

Forgive me if I’m wrong, but isn’t the majority of tap water in the country already safe?

Yep. Which goes to show just how expensive uprooting and replacing the remainder is - not to mention maintaining the existing infrastructure.
