Pretty much everywhere. Tap water in the us is perfectly safe in most places.

The absence of specific dangers is not the same as safety, but the former is all that water supply testing can provide.

More and more microplastics are showing up in drinking water because the particles are so small. They seem to be mostly coming from our clothing released during washing, which is increasingly made of synthetic materials.
"The US had the highest contamination rate, at 94%, with plastic fibres found in tap water sampled at sites including Congress buildings, the US Environmental Protection Agency’s headquarters, and Trump Tower in New York. Lebanon and India had the next highest rates." https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2017/sep/06/plastic-...

Has there been any conclusive studies yet that say what impact if any microplastics have on us?

#9Curious, is there an easy way to test the water quality at home?

You can arrange with an appropriately-certified lab to get a testing kit. You then have to ensure you get a sample that is not contaminated. You should also get samples from multiple points in the home, so that you do not confuse a contaminated tap with contaminated water.
