Water plant generator failed; council seeks replacement bids and has temporary backup
Summary
The water-plant generator failed during routine operation; staff are soliciting bids for a right-sized replacement (staff guessed $35,00040,000) and will use a trailer-mounted generator as a temporary measure while towers are kept fuller than normal.
Town staff reported a failure of the motor in the generator at the water plant and said they are soliciting bids to replace the unit with a right-sized generator rather than repeating past partial repairs. In the short term, staff said a trailer-mounted generator can be wired to provide power while the replacement is procured.
A staff member presented a rough estimate of the replacement cost, saying "probably 35 $40,000" and stressing the number was a guess; staff also said the town has been setting aside about $2,000 annually for maintenance and that the council will receive formal bids once available.
