Tallassee still dealing with drinking water complaints

Cliff Williams / The Tribune Construction crews enclose the sections of the Fitzpatrick Bridge they are repainting. The enclosure keeps any debris from the work inside. It is vacuumed out continuously as work goes on.

For months now social media posts have indicated issues with the City of Tallassee’s drinking water. 

The issue stems from algae growth and the chemicals used to treat it.
