I ran this information before, but in light of the public hearing on the future of the Cheshire Community Pool, I am re-running the information on the poly carbonate solar panels that is being utilized this very minute by the Milford-Orange YMCA.

This system IS expensive to boot, but will save the town thousands in heating costs. It is to me, the only solution outside of making the pool a one season facility. Too many people rely on our community pool. But I cannot and I know many cannot support any idea if one thing is not done first: PUT UP A SIGN!!. Cheshire is going to have to allow EVERYONE to access this facility. IT IS NOT A PRIVATE POOL, and we will not support a private facility in a PUBLIC community that gets FEDERAL FUNDING.

I am sure the FEDS wouldn’t like the idea either. Remember, the borrower is servant to the lender–CHESHIRE!!

You ask for grants for this and that, then you had better open up this facility to everyone and I mean open up and charge the same price for everyone as the Southington YMCA does, very sucessfully I might add.

Stop this “outsider” nonsense. If some people want the pool to just be “Cheshire residents” then let THEM foot the bill.

Here is the link to Openair

The link to the Milford/Orange YMCA Openair facility

The Milford/Orange link shows the entire facility and how Openair solved their energy problems at the pool after the bubble they had put up reached the end of its life.

These people have already laid the groundwork, Town of Cheshire, follow their lead.
