Centralia City Light Switches to New Substation (KELA Radio, Centralia, WA)

(CENTRALIA) – Centralia City Light customers might spend part of the day fiddling with electronics reset during Sunday’s power outage.  Crews were changing over to a new power substation.  The plan included using the city’s dam in Yelm to power most of Centralia.  The lights held out until around 11 a.m.  The power wasn’t restored until late that afternoon.   While it was mostly an inconvenience, City Light officials hope the changeover will greatly bolster the system’s reliability in the future.
