Guarantee of safe water is a right (as given by EPA regulations, etc)

But it is not a constitutional right

Because putting it where it doesn't belong, without any quantification, is meaningless

What is the remedy? There isn’t a private cause of action through the state courts and suing the government itself will end up with sovereign immunity. If they can’t raise a 1993 claim, how specifically do you expect them to sue?
