Satellite Imagery @Maxar : Piney Point Phosphate Wastewater Ponds, Florida

Maxar collected new satellite imagery today, April 5^th, that reveals the leak in the retaining wall of a wastewater holding pond in Piney Point, Florida near Tampa Bay. The leak at the reservoir, first discovered last month, is situated next to an abandoned phosphate plant. Emergency crews are removing millions of gallons of water from the reservoir each day to reduce pressure on its liner and avoid a potentially catastrophic flood of the surrounding area.
