The drinking water in Frisco is tainted with dangerous levels of PFAS after the EPA drastically lowered its guidance on what levels of the “forever chemicals” are safe to consume. Officials suspect firefighting foam that has run off into nearby creeks is driving up the PFAS levels in the small town’s water supply and more than 100 cities and towns across the state could be facing the same predicament. Reporter Olivia Prentzel talks with Michael Booth about what Frisco officials are calling “a concern, not a crisis” and what the news EPA guidance could mean for residents across Colorado.
