The I-Team continues to analyze longstanding water pollution in Dickson County that some say still isn't being dealt with. One case in point is Camp Christian — a popular church-run retreat. But the campers may not know all they need to about the swimming pool.Read or watch the full report from Nashville's WSMV, News 4 (TN)
It's filled with water that's tested twice the legal limit for TCE — a chemical the EPA calls dangerous. It takes about a week to pump 80,000 gallons of water into the old concrete pool at Camp Christian. It may not be quick, but the price is right. The water flows freely from a spring right on the property.
As many as 800 visitors will splash in the pool this summer and not give the water a second thought. But they may reconsider, once they hear the water's tested positive for TCE.
Update: We forgot to mention that Channel 4's Demetria Kalodimos was kind enough to email us to let us know she'd be running a full week of reports on TCE in Dickson County. This story appears to be the 2nd installment. The first report ran yesterday. Assuming part 3 will follow Wed, check back here or check out WSMV directly.
