Farragut officials seek answers after spill
Aldermen and Town officials discussed cleanup efforts, public safety and long-term environmental impacts after residents reported dead aquatic life and strong odors in the creek.
“I think our entire community is outraged by what’s happened,” Alderman Joe LaCroix said.
Alderman Drew Burnette said he believed stronger measures were needed around the contaminated creek.
“I think FUD should come down there and block everything so nobody can get to that water,” Burnette said, adding he wanted ongoing water-quality readings published for the public. “I’m just not
seeing the activity that I think we should be seeing from the other agencies; so I think we have to
step in and have a point person … in the absence of their leadership, we need to step into that role as
much as possible and get that information out to the community.”
