City thanks West Side residents
I received the following press release from the Hamilton Electric Department. It thanks West Side residents for obliging when they asked them to help conservative power a few weeks ago. The release:
“The City of Hamilton and the Electric Department would like to thank west side residents and business owners for their cooperation the last 3 weeks. Electrical demand was significantly reduced and thus certainly helped prevent rolling blackouts.
The emergency repairs to the substation 7 (across from the High School) are complete and the Electric Department has informed the Mayor and City Manager that all businesses can return to normal operations and all residences are free to set their thermostats to normal levels.
By summer of next year, substation 12 along Carlisle and Stahlheber roads will be complete adding significantly to the electrical capacity on the West Side. Again, the City thanks everyone for their cooperation.”

City council to meet tonight
City Council will meet in a special session at 4 p.m. tonight. Council has two items on the agenda, which would have had to wait until August 13 had they not called a special meeting.
The first item is a resolution relating to the Meldahl hydroelectric project, which the city is starting this summer.
The other item is authorizing a feasibility study for a joint city-county water system. The County Commissioners passed a similar resolution last week.
The meeting will be in Council Chambers on the first floor of the city municipal building, 345 High Street.
