  • Community Notice Covid-19

    Altalab is currently caught up on weatherstation repairs and upgrades making this an EXCELLENT time to take care of routine checkup and maintenance, battery changes or upgrades. We are operating on a slightly reduced schedule to accommodate our commitment to social distancing, and our team has embraced a staggered and shorter schedule that allows us to be isolated from others as much as possible, but we are functioning close to normally.

    Because a non peer reviewed study recently suggested that Coronavirus can exist on cardboard surfaces up to 24 hours and on plastic and stainless steel up to 3 days, we are sanitizing incoming and outgoing boxes as well as our hands between operations.

    We recommend following all State and Federal guidance during this unprecedented effort to manage health and well being during this pandemic.
