Do we have a presidential candidate that will solve rural US's water problem?

Which one?

about 15 million homes in the United States in rural areas are still using ground water (a water well) instead of a water utility.

common ground-water quality problems:
salinity, excessive hardness, iron, maganese, excess fluoride, discharge of effluent from septic tanks and sewage treatment plants, irrigation return flow, dryland farming, abandoned oil wells, shallow disposal wells, unlined surface impoundments, mine tailings and mine drainage, municipal and industrial landfills, and radioactive waste disposal, spills and leaks, application of fertilizers and pesticides, feedlots, and salt-water intrusion.

Information came from:
EPA’s website &

wondering if you pee freely on the ground and contribute to polluted water supply
