A leak in a contaminated reservoir has caused evacuations in Manatee County, Florida.
A second possible leak was spotted in the reservoir on Monday morning, but officials later said it was not a leak.
Officials said engineers were installing 20 emergency pumps to mitigate the danger.
Engineers determined that an anomaly spotted by an infrared drone in a contaminated Florida reservoir was not a possible second leak, state officials announced Monday. There have been news reports of a second area of seepage from the east wall of the NGS-South compartment at Piney Point, according to the announcement from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection. These reports are unsubstantiated.
