TAMPA â The potential threat to a regional water source from a contamination spill in Manatee County has eased, officials said Thursday, even as the state revealed a continuing leak at the closed Piney Point phosphate plant.
Tom Ash, assistant water division director for the Hillsborough Environmental Protection Commission, acknowledged early concerns about the discharge flowing north toward Tampa Bay Waterâs desalination plant in the Big Bend area.

Residents near Piney Point turn attention to environmental concerns
Kimberly Kuizon reports
PALMETTO, Fla. - The threat of a large-scale breach of contaminated water is over at the old Piney Point phosphate plant but concerns remain over water leaking from the holding ponds and the proposed solutions to fix short and long-term problems.
Wednesday night, a dive team and an underwater submersible went inside the pond, hoping to find a way to plug the leaks. But the team is only able to work on one of the several ponds at Piney Point.
In the long-term, Manatee County wants to get rid of all that water. Tuesday, commissioners approved a deep well injection site that will be fast-tracked through the DEP.
