PHOTOS: Accidental Milk Spill Turns Indiana Creek White

TIPTON, IN — Tipton County Emergency Management officials say a Central Indiana creek is back to its normal color after an accidental milk spill Tuesday at a food processing business turned the body of water white. Officials said the State Road 19 bypass was closed between Ash/Jefferson and 100 West as crews worked to clean up the Sept. 12 milk spill in the Cicero Creek.

A post on TCEM's Facebook page said officials from several departments worked in a group effort in response to the accidental spill, including Tipton Fire Department, Tipton Police Department, Tipton County EMA and Tipton Wastewater and Utilities.

A reported 300 gallons of milk, although not harmful, was spilled from the Park 100 Foods plant, and crews removed nearly 14,000 gallons of a water and milk mixture from the Cicero Creek.
