"Diesel Fuel Spill Leaves Tennessee Residents Without Safe Tap Water"

Residents of Germantown, Tennessee, are unable to use tap water for drinking or other purposes following a diesel fuel spill that contaminated the water supply system. The spill occurred when a generator at a treatment plant spilled diesel fuel into a reservoir after a power outage during storms. The city's public works crew is working to flush out the contaminated water, but it is unclear when the tap water will be safe for use. Bottled water distribution is ongoing, and some sections of the town have been allowed to resume using water. There have been no reports of people getting sick, but residents are facing challenges and inconvenience due to the water restrictions.
