Chem Drill Coming Up

In case a chemical-based emergency arises, Williams County utility officials, workers and first responders are setting up a massive test scenario to ensure they are ready if something like that happens. Bryan Municipal Utilities will host an emergency preparedness drill involving the simulated release of an industrial chemical at the Bryan Water Treatment Plant on Tuesday. BMU officials say the mock exercise is designed to help ensure emergency preparedness and coordination with local agencies. It will be conducted from 9 a.m. to noon at the Water Treatment Plant. BMU requests that motorists avoid the area during the exercise.
