New Plant to Replace CHE Pumping Station
A planned October completion for a new water plant at Applecceek aims to displace the CHE pumping station. The project will connect a 1 inch main to Buckeye Street and a t-pipe line to the plant, powered by a new 150 horsepower gas engine that can run on oil if needed, reducing coal use by about two thirds. The upgrade is designed to keep oil pumping offline for no more than three days during transition, with pumping expected to begin within ten days if weather in the Redick area cooperates.
