 Memo 1115 Winterization System Shut Down Changes

Memo 1115 Winterization System Shut Down Changes
 
 
If you recall, prior to the start of winterization season 2003-2004, Safeguard issued Memo #1056 Winterization 2003-2004 (10/06/03), which required the performance of winterization shut-downs pursuant to ML 97-31 for all properties with radiant heat systems.  This practice was established to assure that properties were protected from freezing when radiant winterization per 2002-10 specifications could not be completed for the allowable.

Now that the 2004-2005 winter season has come to an end and the risk of freeze damage is no longer a significant issue, the 97-31 shut-down practice should be discontinued until September 1, 2005.   We will continue to submit bids to winterize per the 2002-10 guidelines in year-round areas.  However, we will not perform the shut-down actions. 

Please note that there may be clients who will continue to require the system shutdown, so please pay close attention to the instructions in your work orders.  Otherwise, this change will be effective immediately.

Please contact your regional coordinator with any questions or concerns.
