Ballot measure on electrical upgrades would be repaid with rate hikes
One of two potential questions on Petersburg’s October 5
th ballot seeks voter approval to bond for an overhaul and boost to both hydro and diesel electric generation on the island. The local electric utility says the work is necessary to keep those power sources running but it will mean an increase in the cost of power for utility customers.
The bulk of the 7.8 million dollar bond issue would go to replacement of much of the equipment used to make power from the waters of Crystal Lake. The plant at Blind Slough dates back a century, is about 18 miles south of Petersburg, makes about a quarter of the community’s electricity and is Petersburg’s cheapest source of power.
