USA - Fluoride Leak Has Not Harmed Water
Martinsville, VA -- A fluoride leak that happened at the Martinsville Water Facility is nothing to worry about, according to officials.
On Sunday, the pump that transferred the fluoride into the water corroded and came apart. The broken pump leaked about 1,000 gallons of the liquid. But city officials say most of the fluoride leaked across the yard and not into the water system.
"The Water Plant operations are continuing on. Everything is going as normal. There have not been any shut down of the water treatment process," said Kenneth Draper, fire chief for city of Martinsville.
They are continuing to clean up the leak, but officials say that Martinsville residents should not worry about the condition of their water.
