Water Ban In Grand Prairie

City officials in Grand Prairie are still determining when its customers can use its water again following potential contamination from firefighting foam in a recent industrial fire. A “foaming agent” was detected in the water north of I-20. As a result, they issued a ‘Do Not Use Water’ Advisory for tens of thousands of residents and many businesses. In a briefing on Wednesday afternoon, Mayor Ron Jensen stated that the firefighting foam flowed into the water system after crews battled a fire at a Great Southwest Industrial District warehouse around 1:00 pm on Tuesday.
