It was on the KMUD news tonight.

About 1000 gallons of diesel reported spilled. Residents have been asked to withdraw their water lines. The area is Hacker Creek, at the base of Goat Rock at Elk Ridge. The source has been located – it was an above ground storage tank which lost the entirety of its contents. There is a clean-up underway. Nobody knows when the leak occurred or how long it will take to clean up. Maybe months.

The timing is ironic. Citizens Against Pot Pollution (or whatever “less antagonistic” name they choose) is meeting at Salmon Creek School on Tuesday evening. I’m not sure of the exact time, but I’m sure someone will post it in the thread.
