E’BURG FALLS HYDRO RENOVATION MOVING FORWARD

Officials in the Village of Enosburg Falls are moving forward with a multi-million-dollar hydro renovation project.

At their October 4th meeting, the Board of Trustees approved spending $107,000 from the electric department for the project.

The project involving engineers from H.L Turner Group and Kingsbury Inc. (from Pennsylvania) hope to upgrade the village’s four-blade turbine runner at its hydroelectric facilities.enosburg-falls-power

That turbine dates back to about 70 years.

Village voters approved a $2.1 million renovation at their March meeting.

Because there are “too many unknowns” in the project, the board opted to go ahead with a phased-in approach. The first stage would be to investigate the facility’s generators to determine their current condition.

The project may begin as soon as November 1st.
