Falls City Power Plant Generator
(KLZA)-- Falls City Council members approved the expenditure of more than $45,000 Monday evening for a light fuel oil feeder pump module and light fuel oil back flush filter with bypass from the Wartsila Company.
Utility Superintendent Alan Romine said by purchasing the equipment from the company installing the new electric generation engine at the power plant, will save some money by cutting down on engineering costs and going out for bids.
Romine said the engineers on the project recommended purchasing the equipment from Wartsila. Their feeling was Wartsila would be responsible for making everything interfaces correctly with the new generator motor.
Wartsila said the equipment at a weight of nearly 3,600 pounds would require a significant amount of custom design work and more expense if another company provided the equipment.
The Board of Public Works also recommended the purchase.
