Holiday Hills water plant repairs

Body

SUMMARY:

Around 8:00 p.m. on Thursday, July 2^nd, the Holiday Hills water plant was hit by lightning.  Rock Creek Electric and VEC were called in to check power at both ends to verify where the damage actually was.  Ben Roberts (UCEC) was called in late Friday night to troubleshoot with Square D Tech Support.  A part was overnighted from Pennsylvania ($4,800 + shipping).  It was put on Saturday evening, but the problem was not fixed which indicated that there was internal damage to the breaker.  A used 800 amp breaker was found in Sparta and installed as a temporary repair.  A replacement breaker has been ordered and is expected to cost around $10,000.  The repairs are expected to be covered by insurance with a $5,000 deductible.  Additional bills will be presented for approval as they are received.

BUDGET ACCOUNT:  413-52130-267

Recommended Action

NECESSARY COUNCIL ACTION:  Approve emergency repairs and payment to UCEC for labor and used breaker.
