We responded immediately and feel confident that there is no threat to the drinking
water supply.
We were informed by emergency management personnel on Monday evening of a
diesel spill on Citico Creek which is adjacent to our property. We are monitoring the
situation and have been in contact with TDEC.
Emergency management personnel shared with us that an environmental cleanup
company would be cleaning the spill.
Our monitoring and analysis of water samples yesterday did not indicate any changes
related to the spill. We are also performing additional sampling while the cleanup
continues.
We have a plant operator on site 24/7 that monitors and samples at the plant at all times.
Out of an abundance of caution, we are utilizing powdered activated carbon since
yesterday evening. The carbon is a protocol recommended by TDEC for emergency
readiness. The carbon helps to eliminate any probable contaminants when the water is
initially drawn into the plant from the river.
