"Life expectancy" is the average age that a group of people under the same conditions will live. In other words, no access to potable water would be factored into the "life expectancy" of the people who have no access to potable water. The life expectancy for those folks is not going up. You, of course, have a source where your hypothesis can be proven!? In any case where in the U.S.A. do we have a significant lack of potable water? Life expectancy is not going up for the wildlife exposed to polluted water, either. In many cases, life expectancy has significantly been reduced to the point of species extinction. The main cause for the extension of wild animals is the encroachment of civilization which reduces the habitat of the wildlife. But if you don't think polluted water is harmful to someone's health, or if you think that pollution simply doesn't exist, then you are a delusional idiot. I'd like to invite you to move someplace where the tap water has been polluted by run-off, and we'll sit by and see how it affects your life expectancy. I have no intent, nor do I know of anyone with the intent of moving to a locale such as you espouse. As a matter of fact, I am not even aware of anywhere in North America where such conditions exist, do you?
