Contractors laying cable on Mitchell Rd for Bell South ruptured a gas line and water main last night. Our Local on Mitchell Rd has no water and we do not have an estimate for when services will be restored. We have decided that it is in the best interests of the health and safety of our office staff to release them for the rest of the day and close the Local. If there is emergencies please contact your Vice President by page, contact info can be obtained from our web site. We anticipate we will be at normal hours on Monday July 24, 2006. We apologize for any inconvenience to our Members.
