Kennewick, Washington's drinking water once again found to have ‘forever chemicals in it.
For the second spring in a row, PFAs, those chemicals, were found in the city's water at levels above Washington State's standards.
But the level this year is slightly lower than last year, and it's the same type of contamination.
PFAs come from things like firefighting foam, or even the stuff that fast food wrappers are made of.
“So it appears to be cyclical in nature, at least based on the limited data that we have so far.” That's Jeremy Lustig.
He's Kennewicks Deputy Public Works Director.
People who are pregnant, breastfeeding or mixing baby formula with tap water should find other sources of drinking water, like filtered bottled water.
