On Line With ISVI

By Reggie Clinton - Superintendent ISVI

February 19, 2009

ISVI was recently notified that approval has been given, and funds appropriated, to proceed with converting the current coal fired steam heat boiler system to a gas fired system. This project has been discussed, planned and reviewed several times over the past 10 years. This is primarily due to our current coal fired system being out of compliance with EPA standards. The cost to update and repair the current coal system is astronomical compared with making the conversion to a gas system.

Plans shared with ISVI administration to date indicate a completion date before the next heating season begins (October 2009). But these plans are tentative and a final outline of project component completion dates are not available to us at this time.

During my last tenure here as superintendent this conversion was discussed, planned and eventually shelved. It had also been planned and discussed prior to my arrival here then. Thus, it has been an on-going consideration to implement this change. As more details emerge, and the project begins to move forward, I will update you. At this time it does appear that this project is going to begin to move forward soon.
