Haslam appoints water committee
Gov. Bill Haslam has appointed a committee to develop a statewide plan for water availability in Tennessee. Haslam's office says the committee will include leaders from federal, state and local governments, industry, academia, environmental advocacy groups and public utilities. A draft of the plan, TN H2O, should be available by October. The governor's office says the move came because of projections that say Tennessee's population will double in the next 50 years. Additionally, the administration is worried about droughts, failures of old drinking water and wastewater infrastructure and interstate battles over water rights.
