Status Comments/Explanation

The Town currently has an emergency generator to provide power to the Front Office of the Public Works Building during emergencies. Future goal is to provide 100% generator power to the building. The wastewater treatment plant and sewer lift stations built after 1994 have generators. In emergency situations, the Town also has mobile generators to be used at lift stations built between 1985 – 1994 that are without permanent generators on site. Over the next ten years, the Town would like to purchase generators for lift stations that do not currently have generators.
