  National Fuel Gas — Grover Road Noise Complaint

For nearly a year, residents of Grover Road have endured persistent industrial tonal
noise emanating from National Fuel Gas Distribution infrastructures in our
neighborhood. One is located at 1228 Grover Rd, and the other on the corner of Grover
and Jewett Holmwood. Despite repeated requests for resolution, formal DPS
compiaints, political engagement, and National Fuel's own mitigation efforts, the noise
continues to materially disrupt the daily lives of multiple families.
More than 30 residents have already signed a petition under Public Service Law §71,
which when filed compels the NYS Public Service Commission to formally investigate.
National Fuel has publicly stated the infrastructure produces “no noticeable sound” — a
claim our documentation directly contradicts.

We are asking the Town Board to:

  Formally advocate on behalf of affected residents and join us by signing the section
  §71 petition. Municipal support carries meaningful weight before the PSC and
  signals this is a community matter, not an individual complaint.

Families on Grover Road have been patient. We are asking the Town Board to stand
with us.
