Hammond Mayor Concerned Over Waste Water
(HAMMOND) - The mayor of Hammond says he’s concerned that the BP Whiting refinery wants to put more chemicals into Lake Michigan near the intake pipe for city drinking water.
Mayor Thomas McDermott Jr. says Hammond's Water Works supplies water to residents of Hammond and 10 other communities, including Munster and Lansing.
The intake pipe is about a mile from where BP is proposing to increase its wastewater discharge.
A BP spokesman says the company cleans all wastewater before it is discharged.
