The new diesel powered generator behind Parkesburg's borough hall provides the Borough's police headquarters, government and the district court with electrical power and climate control in an emergency.
The $60,000 CAT generator, paid for by the Borough with help from a $30,000 grant from Pennsylvania's Community and Economic Development Agency, has capacity to power the entire building at 315 First Avenue for up to 24 hours.
With the generator in place the police department can now remain open and in full operations even in the event of a prolonged power outage.
Additionally, borough residents with special medical needs can now come to borough hall to 'plug-in' whenever a power outage leaves them without electricity to power required medical equipment.
