UPDATE 12/17/14 @ 11:45 p.m. CHARLESTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- In Eric Peebles house, you'll find enough plastic to fill a recycling center.

"I at least get six to eight {water jugs} every time I go to the store," said Peebles.

It's been more than eleven months since thousands of gallons of MCHM spilled into the Elk River, and yet Peebles is still not touching the tap.

"I want justice," said Peebles. "I think that's good, that's what's supposed to be done."

The first step towards justice happened Wednesday. Federal indictments were handed down against Freedom Industries and four of it's former officials. Two others who worked at the facility along Barlow Drive were also charged through an information.

The government stresses negligence in inspecting the tanks, and failing to contain the chemical that forced 300,000 people to be without water for days.
