Freeburg electric committee reports transformer failure and secures IMEA energy grant
Summary
The Electric Committee reported several customer outages — including a transformer failure on Lakeview Drive and service line damage — and Village Administrator Matt Trout said the village’s IMEA Energy Efficiency Grant has been approved.
Trustee James (Mike) Blaies, chair of the Electric Committee, reported multiple recent electrical issues: at the SAVE site, a transformer blew on Lakeview Drive; a large tree fell on a primary line behind the power plant between Cardinal Court and Harris Court; and a truck tore service off a house on West Phillips and Potter. As Blaies summarized the committee’s notes, he said those customer issues were addressed by staff.
Village Administrator Matt Trout told the board that “the IMEA Energy Efficiency Grant has been approved.” The award, as reported in the Electric Committee minutes, is expected to support energy-efficiency work in the utility system; the minutes did not enumerate grant amounts or specific projects. The committee also held an executive session related to electric operations, per the minutes.
