By this index Southern Utah's growth is constant and substantial. Earl A. Hanson, vice president pres-ident and manager of the Southern Utah Division of California-Pacific Utilities Company, Com-pany, has reported on substation sub-station capacity increases recently re-cently completed or in the process pro-cess of installation. The 19G7 construction program follows a similar heavy program of substation capacity increases completed in 1966. Irrigation, recreation and school expansions, with related re-lated increased residential and commercial use, account ac-count for present expansions throughout the company's Southern Utah system, from Iron Mountain to Zion Park. The first of such additions made this year was the installation ins-tallation of a 10,000 KVA substation sub-station at Iron Mountain to step down the new 69 KV volt transmission delivery from Cedar City for mining loads and the irrigation loads of Entercri.se and Escalante Val. . KVA with regulators added-The added-The new Melling Substation at Cedar City is under construction con-struction near 600 South and the now Highway 1-15 for the fa:.t growing southwest section of Cedar City. This is an all steel substation with 2000 KVA capacity. Being planned is a new 1000 KVA substation at Enoch and capacity increases in-creases at Leeds, Santa Clara, and Summit. Accounting for increased 1 electric uses is an increase in the number of customers and steady increases in the aver- ; age use per customer. Substantial Subs-tantial rate reductions have ! accounted for much of the increase in use, Hanson said. I Since the company has been in this area in 1958 the Cedar City District has had two residential, res-idential, four commercial, two industrial, and two irrigation rate reductions that have saved sav-ed customers well over $300,-000. $300,-000. In 19H6 the National average aver-age residential use of electricity elec-tricity was 5,265 kwh while the Cedar City Dirtrict, which includes Iron and Washington Counties, average 7,198 kwh for residential service. The leys. More recently completed substation capacity increases are: Parowan Valley, from 1000 to 1500 KVA; Springdale, from 300 to 1000 KVA; Zion Park Entrance, from 300 to 1000 KVA; Kanarraville, from 450 to 1000 KVA and Utah Parks Lodge from 175 to 200 recently received residential and commercial rate decreases to be on the same schedules as the Cedar City District. As a result, five new homes in Kanab have already gone all-electric all-electric including home heating heat-ing which has been popular in Iron and Washington Counties Coun-ties for several years. |
