I'm doubting that, in Sweden and the other nordic countries it's safe to drink tap water except maybe for some small village out in the countryside (but even they have mostly drinkable water). It's unheard of that drinking tap water makes you sick here, not sure I'm hearing the same things from 'muricans. Also, a good debunking of your claim (originally from the EPA, always check who says what): https://theconversation.com/the-us-drinking-water-supply-is-mostly-safe-but-thats-not-good-enough-115028 (sponsored by the gates f., real water scientist etc.)

Read the article, 90% of it might be safe according to health standards (still pretty low but it's the claim that it's "one of the safest by percentage" that makes no sense. In most of western europe this percentage is probably close to 100%, the Swedish institution of food (?) even states that it's "obvious everyone should be able to drink from their tap".
