News and Event

Our electric department was able to make some modifications in our
substation to rectify the ongoing “flickering” problem that has
plagued the city in the past. In preparation for our Phoenix
substation upgrade Oglesby needed to move the current transformer to a
new location to make room for our transformer that we ordered 8 months
ago. It arrives very soon. Late January 13th the current transformer
disconnection was completed and on 14 January it was moved via crane
to the new location. City workers are currently working to reconnect
the transformer not only before the new transformer arrives but
quickly to rectify the “flickering” problem. This information was
released at the Jan 6th council meeting but, not many were in
attendance. The reconnection will be completed no later than 20 Jan
but, hopefully sooner.

Very Respectfully,
