While Oklahoma City announced this week its testing of drinking water showed no major levels of the existence of forever chemicals, it’s a different story for 49 towns and cities in Texas.

The report also indicated there are likely many other towns and cities in the state of Texas with the same kind of levels of the PFAS chemicals.
