A Germantown attorney filed a lawsuit Monday claiming the city failed to fulfill a public records request for documents related to last month’s diesel fuel spill, reports the Commercial Appeal. Residents first reported smelling diesel fuel in their water on July 20. Shortly after, the city issued an alert warning all residents to avoid city tap water. Officials initially said the diesel spill was around 100 gallons but later upgraded to "no more than 300 gallons.”
