Big Progress on Electric System

The electric power supply from the utility pole on Madison Avenue into the church is being expanded and moved. Power now enters the building in a pit under the narthex, where constant moisture, obsolete equipment, and rust are serious safety problems. As shown in the accompanying photograph, a new service entrance is being built in one of the former Madison Day Care nap rooms. The power will go through a new connection between the pole and a dedicated transformer on a pad in front of the building, and then underground into the distribution panel shown above. Major distribution panels are located in the former rectory boiler room, outside the sacristy, in the hallway between the library and the kitchen, and in the hallway between Nieman Hall and the rector's office. As part of the construction of the new parish hall, additional new electric distribution facilities are being installed.
