If you're serous about your drinking water, you need to move.

That water is radioactive and probably highly contaminated.

I lived near this location all my life.... Now for the color of the water,you might want to be on a look out for a 60 Minutes special on this very disaster,I dont know when it will air just yet. But I did just see a TV show called Crumbling America the other night and they had this fly ash spill on that show. They did mentioned that there are 100s of these fly ash ponds everywhere.They mentioned acid and other poisons from this spill...Watch out, America is Crumbling. .

I am so ticked off! I live in Tennessee so this is horrible for me. The TVA don't care about the wildlife, the families,the animals in the river. >:(

The legacy of deregulation, just one of many end results. Wind? Clean. Solar? Clean. Both easy to set up for one's home. Yet, virtually outlawed.

Actually,This wall has been there as long as I can remember. I just so happened used to live there on that road. I used to have bad thoughts about that wall bursting long ago. Theres another wall that I used to think about as well...It runs run through downtown Kingston,matter of fact the High School is built next to it. I used to imagine that busting open when I was in school.. Strange 30 years later one of them did break.These are old levees...sorta like New Orleans

At least the top of that hill is clean.

Everyone knows now that Another of TVA's ponds burst early 2009, right?

Yes, there are two of these messes in the south now. Good luck finding drinking water,
ever again.
