Mayor Ken Tedford, along with Councilman James Richardson, and Councilwomen Kelly Frost and Karla Kent announced yesterday the completion and successful commissioning of the New River Substation. The substation, sitework, and feeder design were completed by Tri Sage Consulting, DC Engineering, Lumos Engineering, and the contractor on the project was Bodec Electric, of Price, Utah.
“We are excited to complete this important upgrade to the City’s electric utility infrastructure,” said Mayor Ken Tedford. “This new substation will allow the City to continue providing the safe and reliable electric service that our citizens and businesses expect. We can’t thank Bodec Electric and all of our consultants enough for their work on this important project.”
The new 60/12.5kV substation increases the reliability of the City’s electrical system while decreasing the current demand on the Babb Substation and provides capacity for future growth and development in the City and at the City’s New River Business Park.
The City of Fallon has served the citizens and businesses of Fallon with electric service since 1912. They are a member of UAMPS (Utah Area Municipal Power Systems) an organization that provides wholesale electric energy, transmission, and other energy services to community-owned power systems throughout the Intermountain West.
