olde port cove lamp maintenance and conversion
Olde Port Cove Association’s governing documents requires every homeowner to have and maintain a gas or electric lamp. It has been a number of years since many of the lamps have been installed and a few are not working properly. Some have rotted posts and some simply won’t stay lit. As part of a concerted effort, the ECC and the Maintenance Committee will be working with home owners to get your lamps repaired and working. YOU MUST NOTIFY THE ECC PRIOR TO STARTING!
Below are links to documents and websites where you can order replacement materials, see a maintenance guide or learn how to convert your lamp to electric.
PLEASE contact any member of the ECC or the Maintenance Committee if you have any questions.
