The Griffin Water Department as well as the Griffin Police Department are investigating high levels of 2 two chemicals found in sewer water that are related to methamphetamine. The Chemicals WERE NOT found in the City’s Drinking Water only in SEWER Water.
Dr. Brant Keller of the City of Griffin said that the chemicals found in sewer water have “NOTHING TO DO WITH DRINKING WATER,” only sewage water.
There are indications that high levels of ammonia, which could possibly be from a Meth lab. But Dr. Keller was quick to point out that there is no indication for sure that a Methamphetamine Lab is the culprit. He also said that Information on the Internet and social media that indicated the chemicals were in the city’s drinking water was NOT true. The investigation is continuing and the chemicals may have stemmed from Industrial waste, or other sources. But both the City Water and Police Departments are continuing the investigations to locate the exact cause of the chemicals.
