Historical October 1983 report or notice. Original dates, prices and contacts describe the source period; current availability has not been established.
Energy Efficient Technologies, Inc., is offering weatherization materials to lowincome families at wholesale prices.
The Skinker-DeBaliviere Community Council is one of forty neighborhood organizations offering weatherization supplies.
A display of the weatherization techniques can be seen at the Skinker-DeBaliviere office. Order forms for the supplies are also available.
The home weatherization program, Project Weatherize, has a goal of providing weatherization assistance to 5,000 lowincome households in St. Louis, before the coming winter.
The program will begin Oct. 1. John Baltzer, president of Energy Efficient Technologies, says: “An unknown number of low-income households in St. Louis had their utilities shut off as a result of heating bills they could not afford last winter. Eliminating drafts, closing off unused rooms, and thermostat setback may reduce the number of families that are shut off this year.” The Skinker-DeBaliviere Community Council hopes to assist its residents by providing them an opportunity to take advantage of this program. Families that qualify can order different kinds of plastic and tape, weather stripping and caulking through the SDCC office at wholesale prices.
Each household will be expected to purchase their own materials.
The deadline for orders is Oct. 15. Any requests after that date will not be considered.
For more information, contact the SDCC office at 862-5122 or drop in to see our display — 6008 Kingsbury.
