Against what? What’s the problem? Lead contamination, heavy metal deposits, and e. coli/coliforms are all very different problems, with very different causes, requiring different solutions.
What if I wanted to make the water clean? Or even better, what if I wanted THE CITY to make the water clean and fight back against Nestle and Coca Cola and prevent them from stealing our water or dirtying it up?
I think the former would be the first step and the latter would be the second step depending on how they respond to the first.
Last month, a federal appeals court actually ruled on a case just like this out of Mississippi stating that we have no right to clean drinking water from the government after they knowingly supplied their residents with lead contaminated water.
Well step 1 would be to be informed as to the problem - both what and where. I hated the water in the hotel I stayed in in Denver. Then I moved here, and it was actually really good. Best I can guess is the hotel plumbing was to blame. If I fought back against the city I probably would’ve felt pretty silly, don’t you think?
That all depends on what’s wrong with it and why.
But how do you actually fight back?

You misunderstood. OP wants to do this all from the comfort of their basement.
How do you prove the third one?
Using applicable local laws
I mean, but prove is just pointing out that there is a law that the government is responsible for water?
Or are we talking about like making a court case to legally prove fault or something?

You would get it tested then go to your local government’s meetings and ask them to address it.
