Normandy Village Utility in Jacksonville, Florida, is under investigation by the state’s Department of Environmental Protection, according to a recent article by First Coast News.
A former employee is blowing the whistle on the utility, claiming that workers regularly dumped untreated sewage with a front-end loader after hours. The worker, Reuben Moody, is now on leave from his job, but he took reporters deep into the woods behind the utility where the alleged dumping took place.
