Good  morning

This email shall serve as a notice of a temporary change in our services Yesterday morning, our west gate (both enter and exit gates) was struck by an industry member and damaged severely, such that the gate has been rendered inoperable. Therefore we will not be able to provide our customary after hours services at the Inspection Station.

All services normally rendered at the Inspection Station is affected (Plant Inspections, Pest ID). Effective immediately, weekday after hour services between the hours of 10:00 pm to 6:00 am cannot be provided at this time. This will also affect services provided on the weekends. After hour services for the weekend shall be as follows: Saturday from 7:00 am till 3:30 pm and on Sunday from 8;00 am till 4:30 pm.

We are sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused. As soon as the gate is repaired(Hopefully next week) we will revert to our normal after hour services.
