Nearly $1.5 million will be ex

Klamalh Falls to provide more
rapacity on the alternate supply
line that links several substations

The large investment in facili

system needed to deliver the con

"Use of electricity lias more

This large amount is more than
double the national average,"
Ritchey explained.
The district manager said the
company's total investment in the
district has grown tremendously
in recent years. Since W46, Pa
