1. PROBLEM
a. Auxilia standby power is not presently available for all
facilities at
b. The diesel generator which bas a capacity of 250 KW bas a
present load of 100 Kit and, therefore, does not operate at maximum
efficiency.
2. DISCUSSION
25X1A6a
is 25X1A6a
a. The 250 KW diesel generator installed at
connected only to Station buildings and not to the REP our points
of power distribution. There is no standby power for the main pump-
ing station, the eraser c 'rater pump at the city reservoir and the
25X1 A
tower Area where the Building are located. See Annex "A".
b. Standby power at all points on the Station could be provided
by purchasing the transmission facilities of the Utility Companies
and the purchase of additional wire and transformers. The Utility
dcmpanies have estimated the cost of these facilities to be $12,000.00.
See Annex "B". By providing individual standby generators at the
points indicated above the cost would be approxiaatel.y $15.500-00-
The 250 KW generator will give the total necessary emergency power,
will require only one attendant at one point, and will provide more
steady and reliable current for longer periods of time than can be
supplied by individual generators.
3. CONCLUSIONS
a. That the buildings at the tower site, the water pumping
station and emergency water pump

b. That the most economical and practical method of providing
of the t e~sting electrical

transmission lines and providing necessary
