Not $85,000. Two Million.

The county and TCEQ have sued Coldwater over the degradation to Hamilton Pool and Hamilton Creek:

The lawsuit does not seek a specific dollar amount, but high-ranking county officials — who asked not to be named because of the pending lawsuit — say cleanup costs could easily exceed $2 million.

Note to developers: When you fuck up, just buckle down and make a real effort to clean up your mess. Don't continue to slide silt into the creek and hope nobody will notice. "The lawsuit states that government inspectors saw 'silt-laden runoff' flowing into Hamilton Creek as recently as September."

And you thought $85,000 was bad.
