2024 RATE-FUNDED CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS
STANDBY POWER GENERATION
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This project consists of an ongoing effort to install emergency standby generators at critical facilities across the system.
WHY THE PROJECT
System Expansion | Timeworn – needs replaced
This ongoing effort is a critical component of WEB’s mission to provide reliable, quality drinking water. When power is lost at critical facilities such as pump stations, pumps cannot operate to pressurize watermains and refill tanks. The installation of emergency standby generators at these critical facilities allows pumps to continue operation during a power outage.
