Divers performing routine maintenance at the Converse Reservoir dam on Big Creek Lake on Wednesday found a grenade-type improvised explosive device (IED) submerged underwater, directly threatening the primary drinking water supply for the entire city of Mobile and surrounding areas.
The device was located during a scheduled underwater inspection of the dam.
The Mobile Area Water and Sewer System (MAWSS) immediately alerted the Mobile County Sheriff’s Office, which coordinated a multi-agency response involving the Gulf Coast Regional Maritime Response and Render-Safe Team, the FBI Bomb Squad, Mobile Police Department Explosive Ordinance Detail, ALEA Bomb Squad, and Daphne Search and Rescue.
