Early Friday closing recommended for the Quarry

Customers have created such a high demand for products from the Oconee Rock Crusher near Walhalla that the county proposes to close the quarry early on Fridays to allow staff time to keep up with maintenance and inspections to ensure the new plant is running properly.  At its meeting next week, county council will receive a recommendation to set the early closing for noon on Fridays.  The council is being told that a regular schedule of maintenance should help prevent un-expected downtime due to breakdowns and reduce overtime costs.
