West Bengal Water Supply Lacks Treatment, Exposes Millions

In West Bengal, many villages have new water taps, but the water that comes out is not cleaned.

The government built pipes faster than it built machines that remove bad stuff like arsenic and fluoride.

Because of this, people can get sick from the water, like getting skin problems or stomach sickness.

A government audit said the water system is unsafe and told the health department to fix it.

The audit also warned that if a pipe breaks, bad water can spread quickly, making many people ill.
