Uh. It costs like $200 for a high quality water filtration system for drinking water. We’ve been using them forever in places that have high mineral content in the water..
E: Ah yes, the classic “poor people can’t afford a $200 item that’s a great benefit to health.” How many poor people do you guys actually know?

Compound issue. Lack of social safety nets and at the same time widespread apathy, both on the people who have power and the communities you mentioned

20-30% of even a poor persons income would be far more than $200
