Approval for turbine repairs and a land purchase for CMU were handled by the Chillicothe City Council. CMU General Manager Matt Hopper presented the estimate for the turbine repairs for the Electric Generating Department.
A preliminary estimate for work that could be significantly higher.
The estimate is $607,076 to get the work started. The final cost is expected to be under a million dollars.
CMU also requested the purchase of a piece of property adjacent to the Brunswick Street Substation. The property is owned by CIDC.
CMU made improvements to access the substation 20 years ago.
CIDC offered the property at a price of $5,000.
The council approved both requests unanimously.
