Citizens Advisory on Carbon Monoxide Detectors As a colorless, odorless, tasteless, and non-irritating gas, carbon monoxide (CO) is undetectable to the human senses. It is considered harmless at low concentrations, but CO is poisonous. Prolonged exposure to high concentrations can cause symptoms such as dizziness, headache, nausea, fatigue, burning eyes, vomiting or loss of muscle control. Very high concentrations can cause unconsciousness, brain damage, or death. Click here for more information. Arbaney Pool Solar Heating The water in the Town’s swimming pool in Arbaney Park is being heated with solar energy. Installation of new solar thermal panels was completed in 2008, and the solar heat is now being used to offset the use of natural gas to heat the pool. It is expected to reduce by half the gas needed to keep the pool warm. The project was conceived by the Town’s Green Team, a group of citizen volunteers and town staff dedicated to assisting the Basalt community in achieving sustainable energy consumption. The solar project was onstructed by two local companies, Aspen Solar, Inc. and GW Shaver Construction, Inc., with structural design provided by Schmueser Gordon Meyer, Inc. The project was kick-started by a grant of $8,000 from the Aspen Skiing Company’s Environment Foundation. The remainder of the project funding came from the Town’s Renewable Energy Mitigation Program. The pool solar project is the first major project spearheaded by the Green Team. Watch this space for future updates on other initiatives the Green Team is pursuing.
