From the standpoint of the Inspections department, Town code does not require generators in these types of facilities, and we cannot encourage the installation of generators. The Town of Wake Forest is no longer under contract with fuel suppliers. Previously contracted fuel suppliers refused to commit to future contracts for unknown reasons.

Investigate methods of encouraging gas stations to acquire backup generators.
