Residents in Williamson County, Tennessee, are advocating for urgent action regarding the Limestone wastewater treatment plant, which has leaked significant amounts of sewage into the Harpeth River. Central States Water Resources, the plant's owner, proposed upgrades after a leak of nearly 200,000 gallons in March.

The state will hold a public hearing on a permit to expand treatment capacity. Community members criticize the plans for not addressing long-standing infrastructure issues. The facility has struggled with chronic overflows, exposing local waterways to untreated sewage and increasing public health risks. Concerns persist about the absence of a compliance schedule for necessary repairs.
