Have you ever wondered how the Indiana Gas Tax works or how the money we pay for a gallon of gas is distributed between State and Federal Taxes?   Build Indiana Council (BIC) recently launched an informative video that explains the Indiana Gas Tax in a concise, easy-to-understand format for everyone to view. 

Adequate funding for Indiana roads and bridges is key to the continued success and growth of our great State and we encourage visitors to our website who are interested in learning more about this important topic to view the video by clicking the link below.

Mulzer Crushed Stone, Inc. donated over 6000 tons of free sand for sand bags to the public, Emergency Management Agencies and local road and highway authorities throughout our operating area in Vanderburgh, Posey, Gibson, Warrick, Spencer, Perry and Dubois Counties in Indiana during the recent flooding situation. The majority of the free sand was used in Posey, Vanderburgh and Dubois Counties, although residents living in all of our operating areas were affected by the catastrophic flooding mother nature unleashed.

Now that the flood waters are receding and the need for sand bags is diminishing, disposing of the sand used to protect property is the next issue home owners’ face in the 2011 flood.  The local Emergency Management Agency office recommends that you proceed with caution when finding a use or a storage location for the sand.  Sand used in sand bags that may have come into contact with floodwater could be contaminated, which would affect how you should use the sand in the future.  Sherman Greer with the Evansville Emergency Management Agency recommended in the Wednesday, May 11 edition of the Evansville Courier & Press that residents “should not use this sand for mortar or flowerbeds and that it should be thrown away at an approved solid waste site”.  He also mentioned that it “should never be used in sandboxes for children”.  EMA officials are still working with other agencies to determine if the sand can be used for other purposes.  Vanderburgh County residents can also contact the Vanderburgh Co. Highway Department at (812) 453-5777 for more information on assistance in removing debris left over from the flood.

Since the flood waters have started to recede and residents who needed sand to save their property from rising waters have already visited our free sand piles, we will be offering sand as normal effective 5:00 p.m., Friday, May 6.   All Mulzer Crushed Stone, Inc. yards will have sand available for purchase during normal operating hours beginning at 8:00 am. Saturday, May 7, from 8:00 a.m. to noon.
