Originally Published 2 years ago — by WREG NewsChannel 3
A Germantown city employee was fired after spilling approximately 250-300 gallons of diesel fuel, which contaminated the water supply and caused a water crisis. Residents expressed disappointment in the city's handling of the emergency and complained about the lingering issue of diesel-smelling water. The city plans to excavate the soil near the generator and continue monitoring and testing the water. Some residents questioned the safety of the water for the rest of the city and suggested testing samples directly from people's faucets.
