Seems that I’m going to have to deal with a stink when I get home this evening… This happened in my neighborhood, less than a quarter mile from my house. Ugh…

Oil spill stinks up Boone County

The J.S. Louis Construction crew was digging with a backhoe along Gunpowder Creek in the Pebble Creek subdivision, in the vicinity of Camp Ernst and Pleasant Valley roads, when the crew hit the pipeline about 8:30 a.m., Reuthe said.

…some of the oil did get into the sanitary sewer system, which brought the oil smell into some homes, Fletcher said.

Before the oil was shut off the smell drifted over the Camp Ernst, Pleasant Valley, Oakbrook, Houston Road and Burlington areas, dispatchers said.
