The executive director of the housing authority, Samuel Franklin, testified before the trial court at the injunction hearing that the problems with the heat and hot water delivery system were long standing due to the age of the system and to endemic vandalism. The heat and hot water for the six buildings were generated at a central boiler room, which contained one inoperative and two operative boilers. Many of the components were original equipment in need of replacement. Franklin testified that regular repair work was performed by the housing authority maintenance staff, but that *357major renovations were paid for by special federal grants. He further testified that in 1981 the housing authority entered into two contracts for substantial renovation of the heat and hot water delivery systems at Elm Haven, including replacing worn pumps and relining one boiler.
