City of Centralia: Engineering Support Services Contract for Proposed Substation (KELA Radio, Centralia, WA)

(CENTRALIA, WA) -- The Centralia City Council on Tuesday unanimously approved an $822,000 contract with Electric Power Systems Inc. for engineering support services for Centralia City Light related to the proposed new Salzer substation and other City Light needs. City Light Director M.L. Norton says currently they have only one substation located on the east side of I-5 and the city’s downtown core with city hall, several schools and the majority of the city’s population are located there. He says the proposed Salzer substation would provide a backup in providing electricity to those areas.
