“It’s really crucial to our health that we take every action we can to keep waste from entering these systems,” said Hutto’s Emergency Management Director Jake Isbell. “It can definitely impact human health, safety and our environment as a whole.

Isbell explained that in this instance the contamination was stopped before it could spread to any of Hutto’s drinking water sources.
