Look what's Back at Heritage Park
Pump stopped working. Guess there is not enough pressure to push the oil through the pipeline to Witt Farm.

Purse Funeral Home Drill Site Done - Drilling Rig Moved to Carson Highway Site
I was gone a few days - and was proven wrong about only pipeline digging activities off Carson Highway. Savoy cuts drilling costs by operating just one horizontal drilling rig - and shifting them from one site to the next. The rig that was first at Stratton's Landscaping was moved to Purse, and is now situated off Carson, where it will continuously drill 24/7 for probably another 10 to 14 days. Neighbors complained to me about extreme 24/7 noise and odor pollution. Unfortunately, it is not just bad smell but there are a lot of poisonous and cancerous substances in those fumes - and this well looks really close to some residences - less than the 300 feet they suppose to stay away...
