A recent report in Finland highlighted some of the concerns associated with the tap water in Finland. Specifically, the report stated that more than two million people in the Scandinavian country have high levels of lead in their drinking water.

If the results are good, officials will soon begin releasing tap water to the general public. In the mean time, here are some steps that you can take to ensure better tap water safety.
