It takes specialists to keep your power coming down the line. Utah Power has 4500 of them. They work the range of jobs from controlling power plants to maintaining power lines in our far-flung outposts. out-posts. Those who run and maintain our power plants have earned national recognition for keeping those generators spinning with high reliability. Our Huntington Plant is a good example. During a recent overhaul of one of its units, our crews lined the coal mills with ceramic tile that's tougher than steel. The tile can take the beating of fierce storms of coal dust as the mills pulverize thousands of tons of coal each day. Coal mill failure is no longer a leading cause of lost output. This drive toward ever-increasing productivity is shared throughout the company. We can supply our 478,000 customers up to 3.2 million kilowatts of power at a moment's notice. We couldn't live up to that demand without outstanding productivity from our workforce. They merit a good word. Y-.U : f'0 .4 4.hJ V5 Li & LIGHT COMPANY Not published at customer expense. 4 J . |
