(KLZA)--Following several years of planning, building upgrades, a trip across the ocean and across the country, the new Falls City electrical generating engine is nearly ready to go into service.
City Administrator Gary Jorn updated the City Council on the project during their June 18th meeting. The City accepted the new engine earlier this month. Following emissions testing the generator should be on-line.
The engine is made by the Wartsila company out of Finland and will provide more than 9.3 megawatts of electricity when called upon to do so.
The entire project to purchase the engine, installation and necessary changes comes at a price tag of more than $11-million.
