The Hartford Highway Garage and Town Hall may soon be heated with fire wood in an attempt to save on heating oil costs.
Since 2011 to date the Town has spent over $26,000 on heating oil.
Heating the highway garage side of the building is always a challenge because of the high truck bay ceilings plus the large overhead doors that open and close frequently.
The Town is putting out a bid for an outdoor wood boiler which will be used to supplement the oil heat.
Highway Superintendent Greg Brown assures us that we will never need to purchase nor run out of firewood considering that the Town has about 50 miles of Town Roads which require periodic tree trimming and removal.
Here is the legal notice for the bid.
