Green committee update

Over the past month, we have met with a couple of engineers that are submitting proposals for repairing the retaining walls. The concerns are the current state of the wall, techniques for repairing the wall, storm water management (to prevent future erosion), and maintaining the integrity of the pool. As we learn more information, we will share it with everyone.

Also, the Board has agreed to move forward with the oil to gas conversion, so we are looking into what that entails and a timeline.

Oil to Gas Conversion

There are many things that we can do to be more green as a dwelling, one of which is converting from burning oil to natural gas. Natural gas is an efficient, safe, and reliable fuel source. It costs less than heating oil, and is one of the cleanest-burning fuels available. Converting to natural gas will reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve the air quality in your community. Help make a cleaner, greener New York. (from Con Edison's website)

Things that we need in order to persue this:
* Your property’s block and lot number
* Your point-of-entry (POE)
* Existing oil type (2, 4, or 6)
* Your oil consumption from the previous 24 months
* Existing, additional, and total gas load in cubic feet per hour (CFH)
* The type of service you will require (firm, interruptible, or both)

Here's an article that explains it in detail.

Here are some FAQ's.
