LAFOLLETTE, TN (WLAF) – Lafollette Public Works is still working on the water drainage canal near the Faith Way Assembly of God Church on the east side of Lafollette. This is part of the solution to help keep this area from flooding again like it did with the massive flood in June 2019 that was deemed a 100 year flood.
