Utility Work near CUA Metro Entrance. Please be careful
Neighbors,
I received a message from Kelly Wallace of Bozzuto
"The utility work in the street on Bunker Hill from Michigan ave. down to the Metro entrance will be starting the last week on this month on October 29th, (Correction, this week) and will take until February. Directly following that we will be installing the arts tower and sidewalk pavers which will take us into May. Essentially we will be on Bunker Hill for the remainder of the job.
During this time, we will be moving the fencing out away from the sidewalk curb and towards the bridge. We will continue to allow pedestrians access along the street, but it will be via a 5’ wide “corridor” between the concrete bridge abutment and the fence. Towards the end of the project (May) we will move the access corridor onto the newly built sidewalk so we can then finish up the rest of the paving."
Please be careful when travelling to the CUA Metro Stop

District of Columbia Sustainable Energy Utility Making Energy Efficiency Improvements Affordable
District of Columbia Sustainable Energy Utility Making Energy Efficiency Improvements Affordable
The DC SEU has partnered with Industrial Bank to offer a special program through the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta, the Energy Efficiency and Weatherization Program. This program provides forgivable loan funds of up to $12,000 for home rehabilitation to eligible homeowners. Energy efficiency and weatherization upgrades offered in this program will make your home a healthier and more comfortable place to live, reduce energy costs by as much as 30%, and create jobs for DC residents.
Who’s Eligible?
Homeowners earning 80% Area Median Income (AMI) or less who live in single-family homes, duplexes, townhouses, condos, cooperatives or manufactured/mobile housing titled as real estate are eligible.
Homeowners must have owned the home for at least one year, and plan to stay in the home for five years.
What does the program provide?
The program provides a forgivable loan, up to $12,000, for energy efficiency and weatherization improvements with some health and safety improvements.
How is the loan forgiven?
The loan is forgiven at 20% each year, over 5 years. No loan payments are required.
What improvements are available?
Insulation
Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems
Low-flow plumbing devices
Efficient water heaters
Other health and safety improvements
Responsibilities of the homeowner:
Complete a loan application and provide required income and asset documentation
Select a DC Home Performance with ENERGY STAR® participating contractor
Schedule and be at home during your energy audit and upgrades with the contractor you select
Complete a phone session of credit counseling
Allow pre and post inspections of the home to confirm and monitor completed work
Meet the 5 year occupancy requirements
Complete project by September 30, 2012
For more information and to participate in the program, visit www.dcseu.com/HomePerformance or contact Chelsea Silber at csilber@dcseu.com or 202-505-3041.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is there ever a situation in which I would need to make payments on the loan? For example, what happens if the original borrower dies before the end of the loan forgiveness?
The only instance when you would be required to pay back the remainder of the loan is when the primary person on the loan transfers the property (e.g. sale, death) to someone who is not income eligible at 80% of the DC area median income (AMI).
How long must I have owned my home? What happens if I move or sell my home before the 5 year period?
You need to have owned your home for at least one year. If you move or sell your home before the five-year period to an income-eligible buyer, you are not required to pay the remainder of the loan, which transfers to the new homebuyer. If you sell your home before the five-year period to a buyer who is not income eligible, you are required to pay the remainder of the loan to Industrial Bank. As an example, a homeowner that moves at the end of year 4 would only owe $2,400 on the full $12,000 loan if they did not sell their home to an income-eligible borrower.
What is 80% of the DC Area Median Income for my household?
The area median income varies by how many people are living in the home and over 18 years old. 80% of the area median income is as follows based on occupancy:
A Household of 1: $49,200
A Household of 2: $56,200
A Household of 3: $63,250
A Household of 4: $70,250
What materials should I have on hand to fill out the paperwork for the FHLB program?
For initial eligibility, you’ll need the following for each member of your household 18 or older:
Paystub or W-2s;
One recent bank statement for each checking or savings account; and
One recent statement for each retirement account
You will need more documentation as you complete the process with a program financial professional.
What is the process of scheduling an energy audit and getting the work done? Is there a cost?
After you are verified as income eligible, you will select a DC Home Performance with ENERGY STAR participating contractor. You will work with this business to schedule and complete your energy audit and energy efficiency upgrades. The energy audit is at no cost to you since it is covered by the forgivable loan. If you already have an energy audit, you’ll need to have an electronic or hard copy so the business you select can use that to evaluate your home.
If I need my entire heating and cooling system replaced, would this program cover that level of work?
The Federal Home Loan Bank program has a maximum subsidy for each energy upgrade measure, such as heating & cooling. For example, heating and cooling systems are covered under the program and those upgrades may not exceed 55% of the total forgivable loan.

Pepco Restores Key Power Infrastructure/Storm Debris Collection
Pepco Restores Key Power Infrastructure Following Major Storm
All Substations Have Been Restored
Extra Crews Are Arriving to Speed Restoration Work
All Substations Have Been Restored
Extra Crews Are Arriving to Speed Restoration Work
WASHINGTON, D.C. – On the day after the storm of disastrous proportions hit the mid-Atlantic region, Pepco crews have restored power to major parts of the backbone of the region’s electricity infrastructure. Power to all high-voltage transmission lines and all substations has been restored. As well, all water pumping plants have been restored.
Damage assessment teams continue to evaluate the destruction to the system so that the information will be used to guide the restoration effort. Additional damage assessment teams have been brought in from outside the company to assist in this effort.
Also on Saturday, tree crews worked to clear fallen trees off of downed power lines so utility crews could rebuild or replace the damaged poles, wires and transformers. More than 60 additional vegetation management crews from the Carolinas will arrive today.
Mutual assistance crews are scheduled to arrive Monday from as far away as Oklahoma, Florida, Georgia and Missouri to help with the restoration work. Pepco also is reaching out to utilities in the Northeast and Canada for additional resources. In all, the company has asked for 1,000 line workers from other utilities, however, given the widespread damage across the region, it has been a challenge and it is possible that only a portion of the extra help will be available.
The storm that meteorologists are calling a “derecho” brought winds in excess of 70 miles per hour that uprooted trees and tore off limbs, which brought down numerous power lines and broke crossarms and poles. Line crews, tree crews, call center staff and field support personnel have been deployed around the clock to support efforts to restore service. All Pepco employees have been mobilized for the restoration effort.
Despite crews working around the clock to restore service as quickly as possible, it could take a week before essentially all customers are back in service. An ETR (Estimated Time of Restoration) for when essentially all customers will be restored will be available later today.
“A restoration effort of this magnitude requires extraordinary effort and support from other utilities,” said Thomas H. Graham, President, Pepco Region. “We really appreciate the assistance from all the crews coming in to help.”
Pepco has activated its Crisis Call Center and reached out to other call centers for added support. On Saturday, Pepco made outbound calls to all customers to update them on the restoration status. All outages and downed wires should be reported to 1-877-737-2662, through pepco.com or through the mobile app, available for downloading at pepco.com/mobileapp. Customers should request a call back to verify their power has been restored. Pepco Encourages Safety Precautions After severe storms, Pepco urges customers to take safety precautions. Our safety tips include: · Stay away from downed wires. Call 1-877-737-2662 and follow the prompts to report a downed wire or an outage. · Avoid crews working in the street. This will keep you and the crews safe, and allow them to work on restoring your power. · Visit pepco.com for safety tips and follow the advice of your local emergency management officials. · If you plan to use a portable generator, follow the manufacturer’s instructions and use only when necessary. Don’t overload it and turn it off at night, while you sleep and when you are away from home. · Locate a portable generator in a well-ventilated area. Never run it inside, even in your garage, to avoid the potential hazard of carbon monoxide. Do not connect the generator directly into your home’s main fuse box or circuit panel. · Protect food and refrigerated medicine with regular ice in an insulated cooler. If you are without power for more than two hours, refrigerated foods should be placed in a cooler. Foods will stay frozen for 36 to 48 hours in a fully loaded freezer if the door remains closed, and a half-full freezer will generally keep frozen food for up to 24 hours. · Turn off power to flood-prone basement appliances if it is safe to do so. However, if you have an electrically operated sump pump, you should not turn off the power in your basement. · Tune in to local news broadcasts for the latest weather and emergency information.
· Take cover if necessary

Note:
DPW to Collect Residential Storm Debris between July 1 and July 7
Residents also may bring debris to Ft. Totten Transfer Station.
The DC Department of Public Works announced today how the Department will assist residents who are cleaning up after Friday’s powerful thunderstorm.
1. If hiring a tree specialist or landscaping company to cut up fallen trees and limbs, please have your contractor remove all the debris, limbs and branches.
2. From July 1-July 7 only, the Department of Public Works will remove from the treebox space(s) in front of residents’ homes, branches that are cut into 4' lengths and tied into bundles no more than 2' in diameter. These items can be placed where the residents' trash is collected or they may bring them to the Ft. Totten Transfer Station, 4900 John F. McCormack Road, NE, weekdays (except July 4th, Independence Day) between 1 pm and 5 pm, or Saturday, July 7, between 8 am and 3 pm. Directions to Ft. Totten: Travel east on Irving Street, NW, turn left on Michigan Avenue, turn left on John F. McCormack Road, NE and continue to the end of the street.
3. Please place debris, bagged or loose, in the treebox space, not the gutter or street so the gutters can remain clear and crews can run mechanical sweepers along the curb lanes and gutters. Also, DPW asks residents to resist putting the debris in the street to help prevent flooding in case of rain before the debris is collected. Do not include rocks, stones or concrete.
Residents are reminded that DPW will observe Independence Day, Wednesday, July 4, and sanitation services will be suspended for the holiday. They will resume Thursday, July 5.
• In once-a-week trash and recycling collection neighborhoods collections will “slide” to the next day, so Wednesday’s collections will be made Thursday, Thursday’s collections will be made Friday and so on.
• In twice-a-week collection neighborhoods, normal collections will be made Monday and Tuesday; however, Thursday’s collections will be made Friday and Friday’s collections will be made Saturday.
• Street sweeping will be suspended Wednesday, July 4 so motorists will not need to move their cars that day.

(WASHINGTON, D.C.) – The District of Columbia government will be open tomorrow, but D.C. Public Schools will remain closed as the District continues to respond to power outages that resulted from Friday night’s severe weather as well as the extreme heat that has followed.

MONDAY-MORNING COMMUTE
The District Department of Transportation is working to mitigate any negative effects of traffic-signal outages, storm debris or downed power lines on traffic before Monday morning’s rush hour. DDOT reports:
· Traffic signals on evacuation routes are powered.
· DDOT is working with PEPCO to ensure major roads are open by tomorrow morning's rush-hour period.
· Traffic-control personnel and stop signs have been deployed to intersections where signals are out.
Tips:
· Treat dark intersections as four-way stops.
· Stay away from downed wires. They could be energized and electrical contact could be fatal.
· Stay clear of broken and hanging tree branches, as they can fall at any time.
District residents are reminded to call 311 or go online at 311.dc.gov to report downed trees and branches in public space and to be prepared to provide specific details about the location. The service requests are immediately forwarded to DDOT’s Urban Forestry Administration (UFA). Priority is given to street trees that have fallen on homes, cars and power lines, and trees that are blocking roadways; then UFA will shift its focus to storm clean up in alleys and other tree related storm debris.
To report a power outage please call Pepco at 877-PEPCO62. Customers may report outages online at pepco.com or download Pepco’s smart phone app, pepco.com/mobileapp, to report and track their outages.
District residents are reminded that trees and branches that fall on or from private property are the responsibility of the property owners.
GAS-POWERED GENERATOR SAFETY
Since there will be a number of District residents who may be without electricity for several days and may be using gas- powered generators, hospitals and providers should be aware of carbon-dioxide exposure risk during storm recovery due to improper use of generators and should screen patients as such with concerning symptoms for CO poisoning.
Families who use generators should know that:
· Generators must be placed outside away from windows and ventilation intakes.
· A generator should never be run inside a building or garage.
· People should not attempt to pour fuel into a generator while it is running.
· People should not store containers of fuel near working generators.
· Cars should never be left running in a garage.
· Symptoms of carbon-dioxide exposure may include; headache, dizziness, nausea- vomiting, fatigue of symptoms of flu –like illness without a fever.
