 News from the Field
The Water Treatment Facility in Northport, AL is located on the side of a hill with a sludge lagoon at the very bottom. Add to this picture an employee cutting grass with an elderly riding mower... While mowing on the hill, the brakes failed. Both the mower and the employee went down the hill backwards. Sure enough, they wound up in the sludge lagoon. The employee dismounted the mower with some explicit language. The poor guy was covered from head to toe with sludge. Once it was clear he was fine, everyone thought it was hilarious. All that could be seen of the old mower was the steering wheel. The faclity got a brand new mower right away, and another every three years since. —submitted by Michael Shaw |
