There's an update on a gas outage that has impacted hundreds of people in Yonkers for nearly a year. It happened at the Palisade Towers housing complex.

Tamara Rodney hasn't been able to use her stove since last summer.

"It has really been a hassle and a big inconvenience," says Palisade Towers resident Tamara Rodney.

The same goes for the hundreds of others who also live at the housing complex in Yonkers.

They've been without gas since last August. That's when a series of leaks were found in a main line.

Since then, officials with the city and housing authority have been working to get things fixed by switching over the utility from gas to electric.

Residents have been given hot plates and convection ovens in the meantime.

"It's far too long, it's not really acceptable but we're doing the best we can and we've had these financial limitations," says Wilson Kimball, with the Municipal Housing Authority for the City of Yonkers.

Leaders with Municipal Housing Authority for the City of Yonkers say relief is getting closer.

"We had a board meeting, our board approved a vendor," Kimball tells News 12.

The work is set to start Sept. 1.

"I'm just taking it day by day and whenever it gets done, it gets done," Rodney tells News 12.
