Norwalk Power Plant Chief Foresees Small Utilities Closure
Norwalk light plant superintendent Donald Davis fielded questions at the Rotary Club detailing a proposed sale under an initiative petition. He explained the system’s value, rate revisions by John Sawvel, and the likelihood that large companies’ expansion and new tech will force small municipal plants out of business eventually. He noted the plant has operated in the black for five years despite city transfers and flood repairs.
