Keokuk Dam Power Fight Prompts U S Inquiry
Rep Rainey of Illinois seeks House probe into Keokuk and Hamilton Water Power Co alleging failure to honor federal obligations, monopoly control, and harmful navigation impacts. He cites 50 year contracts, higher rates, and claims of preferential treatment for distributors, with hearings planned.
Cost of power tied to distributors not the power firm
Mr Kennedy stated that the cost of power is borne by distributors rather than the power company. He said the company does not sell less than 100 horsepower to any buyer and that municipalities set consumer rates. The firm has improved the river for 63 miles, built a new rock structure, and is completing a dry dock to be handed to the government while providing free power.
