Photo: Guy WilliamsA diesel leak that closed Queenstown's civic building for a fortnight last year cost $35,500 to clean up. A report for tomorrow's audit, finance and risk committee meeting says the leak came from the main unit of the library's in-floor heating system. Property adviser Daniel Cruickshank said a faulty probe on a small header fuel tank caused it to keep filling, despite it being full. The fuel soaked carpets, walls and fittings, forcing about 50 staff to work from home or other council offices.
