Moss Point, MS Clearing up Brown Water
Clearer drinking water and better water distribution will be on tap for residents and businesses of Moss Point, MS by late 2007.
U.S. Sen. Trent Lott helped break ground on Moss Point's new water treatment system today. The project was undertaken in connection with the settlement of an enforcement action taken by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ).
Sharronda Walker, assistant manager of the local Hampton Inn said "We get a lot of complaints about the water being brown."
This problem all stems from the fact that Rohm and Haas, a chemical company, was fined $38 million for pollution before closing its Moss Point plant in 2001. This according to the report in The Sun Herald.
