From The City of Hattiesburg Department of Communications HATTIESBURG, Miss. (WDAM) - A food-grade colorant from a University of Southern Mississippi lab inadvertently was released into the City of Hattiesburg's storm water system Wednesday evening. The result: Reports of a blue substance in waterways near the university's Hattiesburg campus, including Gordon's Creek. This dye is regularly used in testing for leaks in water systems and is FDA-approved for human consumption. It is not expected to be a danger to Hattiesburg residents or USM student, faculty, staff and others.
