False.
Wealth is an important enabling factor, but the main reasons most of North America and Europe have reliable potable water are strong public institutions, regulatory frameworks, sustained investment in water infrastructure and treatment, effective management and maintenance, and available water resources/technology. Wealth correlates with those capacities but is not by itself the sole or principal cause (see Flint, MI as a counterexample; and countries with lower GDP but good systems as counterpoints).
