Water Ban Lifted The Department Environmental Protection water ban was in effect on Oct. 3, 2011.  Shock chlorination was performed on Jan. 6, 2012 for 24 hours and entire water system flushed. On Jan. 17, no presence of chlorine was detected and Berkshire Enviro-Labs, Inc. of Lee, Mass. sampled the water on three dates, Jan. 18, Jan. 25, and Jan. 31, 2012. Collective samples were taken from the water storage tank, raw water, upstream and downstream from the water supply and the regular monthly collection site. All samples reported “0” coli form. We believe the October incident was isolated and related to installation of the new boiler and piping and the relocation of pipes that began in mid September 2011. Now that construction and water testing is completed we agree with the DEP that is safe to release the ban. From mid September until now, Swift River took all necessary corrective measures to assure that we had water that was safe for drinking and cooking.

The Old Skylights Were Removed...

One Window Shy, Installation Came to a Halt!

Inside the Furnace Room

These boiler rings were stacked and reinforced. Later they will be filled with water.	This is another view of the rings. When the furnace is working, fire inside the center will warm the water in the rings to give us heat.	A shiny blue cover was placed over the boiler rings. It is now wrapped in plastic and duct tape while more work is being done.	The new ceiling gets a fresh coat of paint.
