Keys Hotel goes green-gets certification

Marathon hotel is the first in the Middle Keys to get state certification

(PressMethod) - Per an article in the Keynoter By KAREN QUIST

When The Hammocks, a 58-unit resort in Marathon, started looking for ways to conserve resources last year, it quickly found it was letting about $85,000 go down the drain.

A series of leaks in the resort's irrigation system, combined with chronic over-watering, meant the resort was running through about 35,000 gallons of water a day, says general manager Carlos De Jesus.

The leaks apparently predated Bluegreen Corp.'s ownership of the resort, so no one noticed anything amiss until employees started going through every aspect of resort operations looking for ways to conserve as part of the resort's quest for state green lodging certification

When asked how this could affect Key West Real Estate Tina remarked, This is just another establishment in the Keys that has went green.
