Leaky part delays transformer installation in Boulder City

NEVADA - Installation of Boulder City's new back up transformer, which was delivered almost a year ago, has been delayed until October due to a faulty part, reports Boulder City Review.

A leak in the new transformer which was delivered to Boulder City in April 2018 was discovered in July, and the staff contacted the manufacturer about it.

"One of the manufactured parts needed to be replaced with a new manufactured part, which took several weeks to complete," said Lisa LaPlante, the city's communications manager. "Once the manufacturer received the part, the city was notified the part was incorrect and another one had to be manufactured."

The new part was installed and successfully tested in January.

The new backup transformer, which is expected to increase the reliability of the city's electrical system, is now expected to be operational in October.
