Council hears update: prison geothermal system operational but boilers delay full use
Summary
City staff told the council the prison's geothermal heating system is operational even though some control equipment is not yet installed; boiler replacements at the prison delay routine use while staff monitor the system and cost estimates for heat-exchanger work are developed.
Daryl Anderson informed the council that the prison's geothermal heating system is operational, but some control equipment is not fully installed and the facility is replacing its boilers, which delays broader use of the geothermal heat. Anderson said staff will monitor system performance and provide cost estimates as the project progresses.
Council discussion referenced the need for new heat exchangers and the option of exchanging dirty plates for clean ones; no formal action or funding appropriation was recorded at the meeting. The update was provided as an operational report to keep the council apprised of the project timeline and expected next steps.
