1. PROBLEM: 25X1A
25X1A A survey was made of existing electric power facilities at
and they were found to be ina equa a or
present use, or future expan s , under emergency conditions.
2. FACTS BEARING ON THE PROBLEM:
as The present demand is approximately 65 KVA (kilovolt amperes) al-
though commercial supply is furnished through a 50 KVA single phase transformer*
b. Auxiliary power used for standby emergency service is.supplied by ~.
a 60 KW single phase generator,
c. Single phase power limits horsepower of motors used in oper- 25X1A
ation ins is not as efficient as 3 phase which would properly balance loa ?
3. DISCUSSION:
a. The present facilities are operating at an overload and with the
continuing addition of corm unications equipment, the installation of the approved
water supply system and the heavy demand which would be required under emergency
conditions, the power now available is totally inadequate. This applies to both
commercial and auxiliary power.
b. Increase in power demands from the Power Com-
pany would result in the conversion from single phase to 3 p ase supp . Con-
version to a 3 phase system would provide more efficient operation.
4. CONCLUSIONS:
The power supplied by th Mower Company and by
standby station equipment is not adequate for norm or emergency operations.
5. ACTION RECOMMDED:
That Sk5s,000 be authorized to increase commercial and standby electric
power facilities in accordance with recommendations listed in Annex A.

 3. DISCUSSION:
25X1A
25 25 a. The 250 KT diesel generator installed at is connected only
to Station buildings and not to the other four points of power distribution. There
25X1A is no standby power for the main pumping station, the emergency water pump at the
and the tower area where the and the
25X1A are located. 25X1A
b. Standby power at all points on the Station could be provided by pur-
chasing the transmission facilities of the Utility Companies and the purchase of
additional wire and transformers. The 250 KW generator will give the total nec-
essary emergency power, will require only one attendant at one point, and will pro-
vide more steady and reliable current for longer periods of time than can be sup-
plied by individual generators.
4. CONCLUSIONS:
a. That the buildings at the tower site, the water pumping station and
emergency water pump at the city reservoir are of a critical nature and should be
provided with auxiliary power.
b. That the most economical and practical method of providing this needed
protection would be the purchase of the existing electrical transmission lines
and providing necessary additions.
5. ACTION RECCThME DED:
That $18,000 be authorized to purchase equipment from the utility com-
25X1A panies and provi6e standby power to all facilities at - in accordance
with Annex B.

b. The diesel generator -4iich has a capacity of 250 KW has a present
load of 100 KW and, therefore, does not operate at maximum efficiency.
