A recent USA Today article raised concerns about PFAS, or “forever chemicals,” in drinking water across the country—and even suggested that Redding’s water was “well over the limit.” However, that information is outdated and no longer reflects our current water supply. 

In this episode, Katie and Steve sit down with Josh Watkins, Water Utility Manager with the City of Redding, to set the record straight. Josh will explain what PFAS are, where Redding’s drinking water really comes from, why your water is safe, and how the City monitors and protects this critical resource every day. Don’t let the clickbait fool you—get the facts about PFAS and your drinking water.
