→ MEAG Meeting – Jody Reid and I met with Paul Warfel, regional MEAG consultant, and David Majors,
an engineer with MEAG, on Monday. It was the annual MEAG briefing and review on the condition of our
substation. Jody discussed the recent outage and they are going to check on how the fuses in the substation
are replaced. All in all, we are in good shape. We have two banks of transformers in the substation and each
has enough capacity to operate the entire city if the other bank is out.
