Summary
After the plant converted to 12 kV power, it lost its backup generator connection — risky if the grid goes down. The board approved a $500,000 contract with Power Secure Inc. to install the right transformer and get backup/peak-shaving power working again.

Impact analysis
$500,000 from the electric fund, partially offset by an expected $100,000–$125,000 from selling the unusable transformer.
Everyone on the sewer system — the treatment plant keeps running even during a power outage.
Taxpayers footing the bill might see their local contributions tick up.
