[News From The Lake] Dodging a bullet...

[paul@IndianLake]

Last time I opined that Spring had sprung, the Primary election was civil, most of the law suites were behind us, and I hoped that this meant a turn around in the Borough's fortunes.
Well I almost spoke too soon. Last week our fuel supplier inadvertently delivered gasoline to our diesel tank. This could have been major. Gasoline can destroy a diesel engine very quickly. Fortunately it was caught very quickly and all diesel equipment was shut down. Each affected piece of equipment; a backhoe, a road grader, and two trucks; were inspected for engine damage and had their fuel systems cleaned. Our diesel tank was drained and refilled with fresh diesel fuel.
We were lucky, I'm sure that our supplier will reimburse us our costs, and we were able to get by a few days without having to borrow or rent replacement equipment.
I would be remiss in not mentioning that as soon as Mr. St. Clair learned of the problem he offered the Borough use of his backhoe and truck, thank you Terry.
I still have my fingers crossed.
