Malfunction at power plant spews ash over SW Springfield http://apocadocs.com/s.pl?1382570186
A malfunction at City Utilities' John Twitty Energy Center earlier today sent a cloud of ash billowing over the surrounding area.
CU said in a news release that a piece of equipment at the power plant "experienced a brief malfunction" that "allowed fly-ash that is normally collected to be released into the atmosphere."
"City Utilities has resolved the situation at the power plant and as required, the incident was reported to the proper authorities," the release said.
CU said the fly-ash that was released "is not hazardous to people, animals, or vegetation and can be rinsed with water from most surfaces. CU recommends that residents who have vehicles that the ash has landed on to have them washed commercially."
