Flint Michigan has something to say about that, as does much of the strip mined and fracked Appalachian mountain region where you can light the water on fire straight from the tap.
You chose a single city and literally one of the most corrupt back dealing regions in the nation, the system breaking down due to graft doesn't mean clean water is a privilege.
I gave you an entire geographic region, not just one corrupt city.
What are you even arguing about. Their point is you can't get it everywhere, so it's a "privilege". Is this about what % constitutes a "privilege"? Why do so many threads go like this.

8% of persons lack access to water meeting SDWA standards. That's probably only dealing with the supplies themselves. so there's also questions of things like lead contamination.
