Phone interview with Mr. Randy Conath, TV12 Flint, 8/20/2014, 4:05p.
Mr Conath was specifically interested in today’s incident which occurred at the 3 Ave PS. The discharge of raw sewage
began at 5:20a and lasted until 2:15p, with an estimated discharge of 3.75 MG. He was reporting from the site so he
actually just wanted me to verify a few of the details which he already knew. | did say that residents would normally
want to avoid bodily contact with the river, but that the county Health Department makes that determination. He was
aware also that this incident occurred downstream of the Flint drinking water plant intake and that the integrity of that
system was not affected by this incident.
