Last month I talked to Tom Sagstetter about the possibility of using the Water <br /> Department's generators in ERMU's Dispersed Generation Program and asked if he could talk to <br /> Great River Energy (GRE) to see if it would be feasible. The decision was made to enroll two <br /> generators (wells 5 & 6) in the Dispersed Generation program on a trial period. The goal in doing <br /> this is to reduce the operating costs of the wells. <br /> POMEnto BP <br /> E x: <br /> IMJA UR <br /> Reliable Public <br /> Power Provider P O W E R E D T o S E R V E <br />
