Hello from Kingston TN, yes I am very worried about this spill, it could pollute the whole water system here. They do have crews working 24 x7 cleaning it up, bu I just wonder what will happen when we get a big rain.
Hey! Scream and shout!! Run all about!!!
Demand everybody, including all the multi-level governments hurry up and do something, even if it's wrong!!!
Oh! And give that self-annointed EnvironMentalist Brockovich a police escort right up to city hall, the county administrative center, the state crapitol and your federal representatives in both houses of ill repute in Warshington D.C., pronto!!!
Don't just stand there... GIT 'ER DONE!!! (the MSM will surely give you a hand)(and give your old buddy Al Gore, (D)TN a call just fer good measure)
Most {water} utility districts can feed other districts and sell to them. A short term solution if they can't be cross connected is to find the nearest place they can and do it till the hazard is gone.
I'm not sure if this has anything to do with it but I think TVA is running the Clinch pretty high right now. Perhaps to slow down the Emory? At the upper bridge in Clinton every day at various times when I've crossed it this week it's been running full stream. That means Melton Hill is feeding on through to Watts Bar. The higher they keep Watts Bar the slower Emory river empties.
If they can TVA convert it over it needs to make Kingston Plant and others a dry storage like Bull Run is.
