| Project Description: |
| Electric utility substation rehab - needed renovation of the city's 30 year old facility: main source of city service and revenue. |
| |
| Is this a project related to a federal or state declared disaster? |
No |
| |
| Measurable Outcome Anticipated: |
| The primary source of city revenues is derived from electric power sales. The city purchases power, runs it through our substation, and sells it to city customers. The current condition of the substation is nominal at best. Many of the transformers are quite old and in dire need of replacement. Essentially, the entire facility needs upgraded to assure a stable reliable source of electricity. In addition to rehab, the city intends to harden the facility against future storm damage. |
