To The Editor:
I would like to make the suggestion to have the city look into
generating their own power for the water treatment plant. They could use water
powered generation using the Swan Creek water current. It is one of the older
uses of generating power and is in use all over the world.
It wouldn't have to be a large one and it would be City Owned and
operated. If you talk to the area old timers Swan Creek was the first power
plant production in the area.
It would be interesting to check into getting a bid and find out
how long it would take to pay for itself with the savings. The existing buried
line from Rocky Mountain Power could be used as a back up if and when needed.
The money saved may also help to pay off the water treatment loan which in turn
could lower the monthly water rates for the citizens.
