Grand Prairie – (WBAP/KLIF) At least one official now is reported as saying fire fighting foam has been determined the likely cause of a “do not use other than to flush toilets” warning to Grand Prairie area residents. Firefighting foam is believed to be likely carcinogenic, or, cancer-causing.
Officials are urging Grand Prairie residents, especially those north of Interstate 20 NOT TO USE TAP WATER for any purpose other than flushing toilets. Do not wash with, ingest or use in any way the tap water until further notice. Bottled water was being given out to residents at two locations early this morning.
Investigation is underway now, and city officials note they will hold a news conference to further clarify how tap water may have become contaminated.
