The bulk plant operated Mercury Energy
Distributors in Waterbury, Conn., recently
received an extensive series of makeovers
and updates that have been prompted in
part by environmental regulations. That
included the replacement of old horizontal
tanks with three 30,000-gallon vertical
tanks, the addition of a three-bay loading
rack and numerous other refinements.
