Hello Dallas — <br /> I received two quotes for emergency power for well #2. This would include adding <br /> a manual transfer switch and a power plug receptacle to the main control panel. The <br /> quotes also include 50 feet of power cord with a plug on one end for connection to the <br /> panel. The other end would have to be manually connected to a portable generator of at <br /> least 200KVA by a certified electrician. This emergency configuration would not be <br /> automatic and it would take half a day to get a generator and have it wired for operation. <br /> This does give the city the potential to run one well if the power goes out. The water <br /> interconnect with Lino Lakes opens either direction automatically. Well # 2 can pump <br /> about 1,140 gallons per minute and the interconnect can provide about 1,600 gpm. <br /> The council may want to purchase this equipment in case the power goes out for <br /> more than one day. <br /> Aid Electric's quote is $4,778.00 with two 100 amp power cords and Rivard Electric "s <br /> quote is $5,964.00 for the transfer switch and $2,454.00 for the power cord and plug. <br /> The cost is fairly low to provide another source to run the well.
