Due to the extended and extreme cold weather, the availability and cost of natural gas are increasing dramatically. Please take any course of action you can to reduce your natural gas consumption including: shutting down all non-essential gas burning equipment, lowering thermostat settings as much as tolerable, keeping air circulating and making sure building doors and windows are secured. These conditions are likely to be in effect through at least Tuesday, or until further notice.

Thank you,
