Alliant works to restore steam with new boilers
Alliant Energy brought in three natural gas fired package boilers at the Sixth Street plant to supply steam as the main plant returns. Two 75 000 pound per hour units were restored by Tuesday morning, while the 150 000 pound unit reached about 50 percent output by 6 p m. St Luke's Hospital has a backup boiler and expects no major impact. Hurricanes delayed a larger fourth boiler from Louisiana. Some customers have left the steam system or remain disconnected as buildings are not ready.
