An emergency team is responding to a "barge incident" on the Ohio River in Louisville on Tuesday, according to a Twitter post from the Kentucky Energy and Environment Cabinet.

Ten out of 11 barges came loose from a tug – a boat that assists other vessels in or out of port. One of the barges was carrying 1,400 tons of methanol, a chemical used in everyday products, and was partially submerged at McAlpine Dam, the tweet said.

The incident occurred downriver from Louisville, and the nearest Kentucy intake station is in Henderson, about two hours west of the city. Kathleen Speicher from the Louisville Water Co. said there should be no impact on the city's water supply due to the location of the incident, as it occurred downriver from Louisville's water intake.
