A Close Call

Our site developer has finished laying the water pipe down Baileywick road and was preparing to connect the line to the water main when one of their workers accidently hit a buried high-power line with his backhoe. This line services everyone on Baileywick road and carries of 18,000 volts. The line was several feet away from where it was supposed to be, and was a complete surprise when we hit it.

Fortunately, the line wasn't broken and the hot part of the line wasn't exposed. More importantly, nobody was injured. However, this situation means that we have to put off connecting this line until after the weekend to give Progress Energy the time they need to repair the line.

Thanks to everyone who has been praying for the safety of the people working on the site. I truly felt God's protection yesterday helped us to avoid a potentially deadly situation.
