Electric Pumping Proposal Promises Savings for City Water
Norfolk Electric Light and Power Company proposes to switch city water pumping from steam to electric power under a six year plan. The deal would install a new pump and motor, keep a steam boiler in reserve, and bill the city about 189 a month plus 17 a month if only the pump remains, or 160 and a fraction per thousand gallons if the city provides both pump and motor. Council referred the measure to a committee to study merits, noting rising costs and aging plant equipment.
