It was discovered Monday that PopPop's Pop Bottling Company had accidentally released 10,000 gallons of fresh water into the Floyd River.
The spill is expected to double the concentration of dihydrogen monoxide in the Floyd.
Mayor Flannel noted that there are no near-term health effects from the spill and that storm drains throughout the city have been opened in an attempt to return the waterway to its natural state.
Remediation will be aided by the upstream cheese sludge spill.
City officials expect the return of the characteristic color and smell within a week.
