Steve Fennessy: This is
Georgia Today; I'm Steve Fennessy. This week, we hear about a new documentary: It's called
Saving Juliette, and it follows a growing grassroots effort in middle Georgia for clean drinking water. Safe drinking water is a topic that's grabbed headlines in recent years — think Flint, Mich., and Newark, N.J. Well, this story takes place in Juliette, a small rural community north of Macon. Juliette is home to Georgia Power Plant Scherer, one of the largest coal-fired power plants in the United States. And the film traces what happens when residents discover the well water they rely on could be contaminated by coal ash from the facility.
