What happened

Some supportReported by 2 outlets

Recovery efforts, including debris cleanup and water testing, are underway in Menasha, Neenah, and Fox Crossing. The first of two required clean water tests has been completed, but the boil water advisory remains in effect until the second test shows clear results. Officials noted that cleanup is challenging due to mixed debris, such as organic material intertwined with fencing. National Guard personnel are assisting in the cleanup, and local authorities advise boaters to exercise caution due to floating debris on waterways.
