Most of us know by know that gas has been expensive and not readily available in the past few days. Some gas stations are closed awaiting future deliveries. News released a few hours ago is not good. Some refineries will not open for at least nine days and deliveries to service stations will add several days before we see local relief.
Kudo's to City Manager Roger LeDuc, who, after Hurrican Katrina a few years ago, upgraded the condition of two 10,000 fuel tanks. Each is currently half full which means that Public Safety and Fire Response will not be affected by Hurricane Ike. We should survive the local gas crisis as long as it does not last too long.
City Staff will further evaluate the situation to determine if additional conservation measures should be enacted.
