2.2 million people in U.S. live without access to running water, basic plumbing: report

NEW YORK, June 30 (Xinhua) -- Obtaining running water at home is a struggle for many people in the United States, and those who lack clean water overwhelmingly come from communities of color, non-profit DigDeep said in a report on Tuesday.

More than 2.2 million people in America still live without running water and basic plumbing in their homes, and tens of millions more without adequate sanitation, said the Los Angeles-based organization devoted to bringing clean, hot and cold running water into American homes.
