Council member Santana asked the city manager whether the city had performed recent water testing. Ben said Live Oak conducts regular monthly and quarterly tests and that a recent PFAS test returned a lower result than earlier tests, bringing the water below the state's notification level. "There was a recent PFAS test that actually was lower, than in the past that actually brings us out of the notification level," Ben said.
