It’s the water you drink, clean in and pay for. It’s the water you rely on, because you have to have it.

For the past year the KHOU 11 News I-Team has been investigating the quality of the tap water in Texas.

However, the team also discovered that many of those consuming it didn’t know they were also being exposed to a health risk.
