Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Stephen Johnson apologized during a press conference Tuesday for what critics called 'flagrant oversight and neglect' in monitoring ground- and tap-water quality across the United States, claiming that his department was unaware that citizens were still consuming it. 'I can honestly say we had no idea that anyone used faucet water anymore,' Johnson said. 'Bottled water, sureI have some here on the lectern. But if there really are people out there still drinking tap water, all I can say is you're better off not knowing what's in there.' Johnson added that official EPA policy is that Americans should stick to sports drinks.
