I would like to take this opportunity to provide an update on the past week's activities at Torview from David Vutera.
During a storm this past weekend, the Con Ed transformer on Stormytown Road failed causing partial power loss at Torview. Regrettably, this power loss forced us to close the pool all day on Father's Day Sunday. This was a disappointment for all of us who visited the pool on Sunday and obviously could not be prevented by anyone. Con Ed was notified immediately and visited Torview on Sunday night and Monday afternoon. They were unable to restore full power because the type of transformer that failed is no longer available. After negotiations with Con Ed, it was decided that Con Ed would restore power by repositioning the transformer located in the Torview parking lot to Stormytown Road. The result of this repositioning would require new power cables to be installed from Stormytown Road to the utility pole outside the Torview office building. On Wednesday, Con Ed arrived at Torview and successfully implemented the change and restored full power to the pool. As a result of this change, the newly installed power cable bundle will be more resilient to future storm damage as compared to the older high-voltage cables that had been in service for many years. The pool is now ready and will be open this weekend during normal weekend hours (12-6 PM).
