Texas Water at a Glance
Texas water systems are under pressure. Aging infrastructure, industrial runoff, and natural contaminants are leading to more frequent boil notices, PFAS detections, and rising public concern over what’s coming out of the tap.
PFAS Contamination from Active Groundwater Monitoring by County, Texas
PFAS (Forever Chemicals)
Why it matters: Linked to immune issues, reproductive harm, and cancer.
Where it’s found: Detected in both public water systems and groundwater aquifers¹ across Texas, affecting city and well water alike.
PFAS, or “forever chemicals,” are industrial pollutants found in both public water systems and groundwater aquifers across Texas, with confirmed hotspots in over 30 counties as of 2024. Source: 2025 Water Stress Index Report by Salford & Co
¹
Arsenic
Why it matters: Carcinogenic over long-term exposure.
Where it’s found: Naturally present in groundwater2 – especially in Central and West Texas.
Arsenic is naturally present in Texas groundwater—especially in West Texas—where some wells exceed the EPA’s 10 µg/L safety limit, posing long-term health risks such as cancer. Sources: EPA, USGS
²
Nitrates
Why it matters: Harmful to infants and pregnant women.
Where it’s found: Found at high levels3 in rural, agricultural areas.
Nitrates are a leading cause of groundwater contamination in rural Texas, primarily from fertilizer runoff and livestock waste. In 2025, agricultural activity accounted for 24% of all active groundwater contamination cases in the state. Source: 2025 Water Stress Index Report by Salford & Co
³
Microplastics
Why it matters: Under investigation for hormone disruption and health risks.
Where it’s found: Present in treated municipal water4 with aging pipes and wells in Texas.
Microplastics, tiny plastic fragments under 5 mm, have been detected in treated municipal water systems globally, including in the U.S., and are linked to potential health effects like inflammation and hormone disruption. Source: EPA
