The City of Fort Scott addresses complaints regarding foam accumulation being seen in the river at Gunn Park. The following is from the City of Fort Scott Facebook post: “The foam that is being seen in the river at Gunn Park is caused by the amount of phosphorus in the water and is not harmful to our water supply. It is caused by the change of weather we have had over the last week (thank God for the rain). The Dam in Gunn Park is before the City of Fort Scott’s River Intake system so the water will be treated with several layers of chemicals before going into our drinking water. Remember, there are a lot of things in our river water system that goes through our water intake system so we are equipped to treat these things. So again it is not harmful to anyone.”
